Who Should Use This Guide?
This guide helps you set up your Business Edition appliance if you can answer yes to the following questions.
-
Are you doing a manual installation of applications on a Cisco Business Edition appliance? This guide covers everything that you have to do to customize it for your business needs.
Are you installing application versions from Collaboration System Release 12.7 or later? If yes, this installation guide applies. If no, then your applications may not support ESXi 7.0 and you cannot leverage the factory-loaded software. Applications from Collaboration System Release 11.x are no longer
factory-installed on appliances as of time of this writing?
-
Does your deployment fit within the Supported Solution Capacities described in Appendix B?

Caution |
Do not reinstall the factory-loaded virtualization software. Do not reformat the disks or rebuild the storage hardware array. Either action wipes out the factory preloaded software and causes post installation licensing problems. |
