Open
Virtualization Files
Open
Virtualization Format files define the basic structure of the VMs that are
created—including the CPU, RAM, disk space, reservation for CPU, and
reservation for memory.
OVA files for
Packaged CCE are contained in the CCE-PAC-M1-OVA-v10x.zip file at Cisco.com.
Download and
extract the file and save the OVAs to your local drive.

For each datastore, the table below describes
the RAID group, the ESXi Hypervisor, and the virtual machines for the C260
server. Note that Datastores A-2 and B-2 service the Unified CCE Data Server
and have separate drives for the operating system and database.

Map Private to
UCCEPrivate Network
For all other servers, map Public to
UCCE Public Network.

Install anti-virus
software
Install one of the
supported anti-virus software products listed in the Packaged CCE Design Guide.
To allow
required access to installation program files or folders, perform file-blocking
exclusions in the anti-virus product file-and-folder protection rules. To do
this in McAfee VirusScan:
Launch the
VirusScan console.
Right-click
Access
Protection and select
Properties.
In the
Anti-virus Standard Protection category, make sure that the rule Prevent IRC
communication is unchecked in the Block column.
Important:
The firewall
component of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, the Network Threat Protection
feature, must be disabled. If the feature remains enabled, which is the
default, both sides of a duplexed router come up in simplex mode, thus blocking
communication between each side of a router. This blocking impacts all
deployment types.
