Packaged CCE 2000 Agents Installation

Installation Tasks

This section provides tasks to create and set up virtual machines (VM) of various components that are required for the Packaged CCE 2000 Agents installation. For information about creating VMs on the appropriate data centers for specific components, see the Unified CCE Reference Designs section in the Solution Design Guide for Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise.


Note


If your Reference Design layout is on the Cisco HX220c-M5SX or Cisco HX220c-M6S servers, auto-discovery (to identify and validate the components on ESXi servers) is based only on the first node of the Hyperflex cluster.



Note


If you have Cisco UCS C240 M5SX or Cisco UCS C240 M6SX or Cisco HX220c-M5SX or Cisco HX220c-M6S Tested Reference Configuration or Specification-Based hardware, make sure that the following core components are added on-box without changing the default annotations:

  • Unified CCE Rogger

  • Unified CCE AW/HDS/DDS

  • Unified CCE PG

  • Unified CVP Server

  • Unified Intelligence Center (with coresident LiveData and IDS)

  • Finesse

The following terms are reserved for core component annotations: Cisco, Finesse, CUIC, and CVP. Do not use these reserved terms in the annotations of any of the non-core component VMs.



Note


Take a backup of the VM Snapshot before installing the Packaged CCE software, because uninstallation support is not provided.

Create VM for Cisco Unified CVP Reporting Server

Follow this sequence of tasks to create a virtual machine for the Unified CVP Reporting Server. The Unified CVP Reporting Server is an optional component.

Sequence

Task

1

Using the Packaged-CCE-CVP.ova template, create a virtual machine. For more information, see Create a Virtual Machine from the OVA.

Note

 

The CVP Reporting Server can use the CVP Call Server’s OVA template. However, the annotation name used should be generic. By default, the VM annotation is named as CVP VM template. After the VM is deployed, you must change the name. Do not use the terms Cisco, Finesse, CUIC, and CVP in the name because they are reserved for the core components. For example, instead of CVP-VM-Reporting-Server.ova, use SelfService-Reporting-Server.ova. If any of the core component names are used, the CVP Reporting Server fails the VM validation.

Select Cisco Unified CVP Reporting Server from the drop-down list.
