1.0 Overview

The CUCM IM and Presence (IM&P) 10.5 Virtual Server
Template (OVA) defines the virtual machine configurations that are
supported in the IM&P 10.5 release.  This OVA contains all supported
virtual machine configurations of this IM&P release. Any fresh install
of IM&P 10.5 must use a virtual machine created from this OVA.

of VMware.  The OVA file defines the following for the virtual machine
based on the deployment selected:

	- Amount of RAM 
	- Number and size of hard disks 
	- ESXi support: ESXi 5.0 (VM version 8)
	- OS support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (64-bit)
