Create VMs for the Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal Servers

Follow this sequence of tasks to create the virtual machines for the Unified CVP Servers. Each Unified CVP Server combines the Unified CVP Call Server, Media Server, and VXML Server functionality.

Sequence

Task

1

Create a Virtual Machine from the OVA.

2

Install Microsoft Windows Server

NTP configuration is required if this machine is not in the same domain as the Unified CCE Roggers, AWs, and PGs. See NTP and Time Synchronization.

3

Install VMware Tools

4 Configure Network Adapters for Cisco Unified CVP
5

Add Machine to Domain

6 Install Antivirus Software
7 Run Windows Updates

Create VM for Cisco Unified CVP Reporting Server

Follow this sequence of tasks to create a virtual machine for the Unified CVP Reporting Server.

Sequence

Task

1

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.

2
