Cisco - Install Call Manager 4.x with VMWare
Posted by Josh under Cisco , Cisco VOIP , virtualization -Installing Call Manager version 4.x has been quite a task. All the tutorials I had been following until recently made reference to OS upgrade version 2000.2.6. However, this version no longer available for download on Cisco.com. I tried to follow the tutorials for version 2000.4.4a but ran into several issues … the registry hack did not work and version 2000.4.4a did not include MS Java … just to name a few. The following tutorials will walk you through every step to successfully install Callmanager with VMWare Player.
| Step 1: Download and install vmware player | Watch Video |
| Step 2: Download and extract the VMware session | Watch Video |
| Step 3: Install Windows 2000 Server SP4 | Watch Video |
| Step 4: Install VMware Tools inside the Virtual Machine | Watch Video |
| Step 5: Install Microsoft Java Virtual Machine | Watch Video |
| Step 6: Modify the windows registry | Watch Video |
| Step 7: Extract shutdown.exe into c:\utils\ directory | Watch Video |
| Step 8: Install Cisco OS 2000.4.4a Upgrade | Watch Video |
| Step 9: Install Cisco Call Manager | Watch Video |

Somebody can help me ?
July 6th, 2007 at 12:52 am
It is under “Cisco OS-2000.4.4a Registry Hack”
July 10th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
The link to download “Cisco OS 4.4a Upgrade” opens the cisco web site but I dont have CCO login.
Can some one give me a link to download this os upgrade.
Thanks
July 16th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Thanks for putting up those videos. What do you get for $10? What about version 4.2(3)? Will this work as well? I assume you use any Windows 2000 SP4 server install disks?
July 16th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
For $10, you get all the CCM-vmware videos in a zip file. Basically, you have the videos on your hard drive instead of having to watch them from the website.
I believe the process will work the same for CCM 4.2(3) and you should be fine with any Win2k server disks with SP4.
Please let us know if 4.2(3) does not work.

Hi Admin,
just wanted to ask about installing MSSQL2000.
Is the step included somewhere or it is before step9?
August 7th, 2007 at 10:25 am
MSSQL2000 is installed with CallManager in step 9
August 16th, 2007 at 10:02 am
Hi at the end I was able to do it, thank for your posts.
I installed version CCM4.1.3
At step 9 I got errors that SQL2000SP3A can not be installed. I downloaded it from cisco as cisco recommend but still it had some registry check and was failing to install.
So I removed MSSQL installed by CCM setup and installed a standalone version of MSSQL2000 and applied to it SP3A…and restarted CCM Setup and it works!
Thanks.
August 17th, 2007 at 9:49 am
Where to get Cisco OS 4.4a Upgrade
If someon ehave it please uload it to fome ftp server.
Trying to install CM 4.1.3 for about a month
thanks
August 23rd, 2007 at 9:49 pm
if sql 2000 install fails(included with CCM) during installation. Try installing MDAC 2.6 SP2. Restart the computer then try reinstalling. It worked… for me.
August 26th, 2007 at 2:14 am
I was unable to install CCM 4.1(3) using this procedure.
The error is “iuRunCommand” and “CreateProcess: Error: 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.”
Any ideas??
September 2nd, 2007 at 4:09 am
Hi i have a little problem with vmware…im using vmware workstation version 5.5.4

i can`t download Cisco OS-2000.4.4a Registry Hack and Cisco OS 4.4a Upgrade from http://www.cisco.com without registration, can any one help me
September 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
i receive this message when i open ccm.vmx in step 3
“Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine.
If you were able to power on this virtual machine on this host computer in the past, try rebooting the host computer. Rebooting may allow you to use slightly more host memory to run virtual machines.”
after rebooting the host computer,the same situation.
can any one help me.
September 3rd, 2007 at 3:40 pm
@kennis
This is probably a better questions for the vmware forums…

September 3rd, 2007 at 3:45 pm
@Hany
Here is the link for the registry hack. No registration required.
http://www.blindhog.net/tutorials/ccm.reg
In regards to the memory error, you probably do not have enough physical memory on your computer. The vmware session available for download uses 1GB RAM. I would suggest 2GB RAM on you host machine.
September 4th, 2007 at 5:21 am
Ok they all don’t know the answer…but i going to tried to build the ccm on just a normal server..
that must also work i thing…
Thanks anyway

the link above doesn’t work..
Thanks
September 6th, 2007 at 6:21 am
the link for the ccm.reg downloads as a .mp3 extension also renaming the file to ccm.reg won’t help…
September 6th, 2007 at 9:13 am
The link is fine. The problem is Internet Explorer. Use Firefox, or try this..
1) Right click on the link and selecting ’save link as’ or ’save target as’
2) Change the file type from ‘mp3 sound file’ to ‘all files’.
3) Change the name from ‘ccm’ to ‘ccm.reg’.
4) Save it to your hard drive.
Here a tutorial: http://www.blindhog.net/tutorials/save-ccm-reg.htm

Hi,
I seem to be having the following error after call manager finally installed.
“Cisco CallManager could not install XML 3.0 SP5 at this time. When the installation has finished, please reapply the latest Cisco OS Upgrade Service Release.”
I have d/l xml 3.0 sp5 seperately, but it fail saying there a new version already installed. I have installed the OS upgrade specified in this doc but seem to be getting stuck at the final stages.
Please help!
September 19th, 2007 at 12:12 am

Faruk,
I had the same error as well and used the same install packs. Any word on this?
September 21st, 2007 at 8:25 am
Had a problem with k9.2000-4-4a.exe not restarting after reboot. Found this on another site:
…. you can manually run the
install phases that do not automatically trigger. From a command line,
execute the MCSOsUpg.exe with the appropriate flag for the phase you need to
run.
Phase 1
C:\MCSOsUpg\MCSOsUpg.exe
Phase 2
C:\MCSOsUpg\MCSOsUpg.exe /SPBoot
Phase 3
C:\MCSOsUpg\MCSOsUpg.exe /PostBoot
September 21st, 2007 at 9:10 am
Correction!
C:\MCSOsUpg\MCSOsUpg.exe /Postboot
…if you do /PostBoot (vs the correct /Postboot) it will run phase 2 again.

I have problems downloading the ccm.reg file from the registry hack link.Each time I try to down it Windows media player opens.. What can I do..
Secondly..Can I set up a full cluster with this. I mean, Can I install a publisher and then subscribers..How do i achieve this.
Thanks
September 25th, 2007 at 4:47 am
The link is fine. The problem is Internet Explorer. Use Firefox, or try this..
1) Right click on the link and selecting ’save link as’ or ’save target as’
2) Change the file type from ‘mp3 sound file’ to ‘all files’.
3) Change the name from ‘ccm’ to ‘ccm.reg’.
4) Save it to your hard drive.
Here a tutorial: http://www.blindhog.net/tutorials/save-ccm-reg.htm
A full cluster would be dependent on vmware. I am not sure if vmware player will allow more than one virtual machine at one time…If it does, then yes. You should be able to run a pub and sub cluster.

Can this process be followed for Cisco Unified Communitcation Manager 6.0(1a)???
November 6th, 2007 at 4:04 am
Thanks;
It works.
I’m waiting for “Cisco - Install Call Manager 5.x with VMWare”
November 6th, 2007 at 4:50 pm
I got CCM 5.1 to work on VMWare. I’m not a Linux or VM person but after researching a few commands like VI to edit the .conf file and others i got the machine to boot up. What I did was clone the hard drive (Image ALL on Ghost) from the 5.1 machine, then create a virtual machine with the BusLogic SCSI driver and followed the following tutorial with the latest Fedora Core recovery CD. It boots up and lets me know some hardware is no longer present, and I’m actually having trouble getting the NIC to work, but its going somewhere. If only I could figure out the NIC problem.

Why did you have to install Ubuntu first before installing Win 2K?
Can I go ahead and install Win2K straightaway, without first of all installing Ubuntu??
November 14th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
Ayo,
Sorry for the confusion. The first video is intended to just show you how to install vmware player and make changes to the vmx file. You should not install Ubuntu.

Hi Admin,
First of all this a great site and very very useful!!!
I have come across a slight issue when following call manager installation, right at the end when i have inserted disk 2 I get a error “Remote procedure call has failed” it then aborts installation and rolls back. Could please point me in the right direction or tell me what I am doing wrong??
Thanks again

Hi Again
Yes I am using win 2000 server sp4, it took forever trying to get hold of this version at the end I had to use a contact at Microsoft!!! I have no idea why it fails at this stage or what the error means……
December 31st, 2007 at 9:40 pm
I have not seen the video’s yet, but just reading the posts I hear great things. I’m curious if anyone knows what linux kernel type Cisco uses on CM5.1/6.0? Thinking about taking a stab at installing it with VM or XEN…
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to install CCM 4.1.2 on VMware. Following is what I did so far:
1) Install Win2k Server with SP4
Give Static IP Address to NIC 1.
2) Install SNMP & other tools Under monitoring tools
3) Upgraded to IE6 with SP1
4) Install Win2000.2.7
5) Install Win2000.2.7SR3
6) Copied Shutdown.exe from C:\Program files\Cisco\Updates 2000.2.7SR3 folder to C:\Utils
7) Give Read access to everyone on C:\Winnt\Registration folder
9) Install SQL 2000 (Per seat license 1000)
10) Edit Hosts and LMHosts files
I was able to start the CCM setup successfully. Once Disk 1 finished I am getting a message to insert “Cisco CallManager Installation, Upgrade, and Recovery Disk 2 of 2″, but when I am inserting the disk the Installation process doesn’t accept it and continue giving the same message.
I’ve Copied set of CDs from Original cisco media. I’ve tried making multiple Disks and changing the Disk name but the installation process gives same message.
Any help will be highly appreciated??

Have you tried the actual Cisco Media? Although, it should work with copies …
Do you see an error in the installation logs?

Thank you for the tutorials..I followed them but I am still getting an error that the hardware is not cisco approved hardware platform. Has anyone encountered this error and how did you fix it?
Thanks
January 24th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
What step are you getting this error on exactly?
January 27th, 2008 at 8:25 am
Hi Josh,
I was able to install CCM 4.1.3 from copied medias using the same method. Seeme CCM 4.1.2 has some problem with VM Ware.
I heard that CCM 4.1.2 is not supported on VM ware perhaps that’s the reason Disk 2 was not getting accepted.
Anyways, I’ve 4.1.3 running.
Thanks for your time.

January 27th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Please each time I try to run the shutdown.exe, I get the error shutdown.exe is not a valid win32 application..
What can I do to resolve this problem
January 27th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
inner silence,
Glad to hear you were able to get 4.1(3) installed. Some people have had the same error message because they were not using cisco os 4.4a. The old 2.7.x (and earlier) OS looked in a different part of the registry to verify cisco hardware.
Deji,
You should not have to run shutdown.exe. If it is in the c:\utils directory, the call manager install will run it. Are you getting the error message during the call manager install?
January 28th, 2008 at 4:05 am
Ok. Thank you for your response. I have put the shutdown.exe in the c:\utils directory.
However when I try to install CCM I get a funny error message like this..
Name resolution successfull used name CCM6_PUB resolved IP 127.0.0.1 resolved name ccm6_pub
01/28/2008 10:02:45.140 CCMSetup.cpp fnrsPreinstall Message displayed: The installation has detected a loopback state while trying to resolve the computer name.
This can be caused by a disconnected network cable.
Verify that you have a network cable plugged in to the Network Interface Card (NIC).
For more information, review the log file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\Logs\CCMInst 01-28-2008 10.02.39.log and refer to the Cisco CallManager installation and upgrade documentation.
January 28th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Guys Please help out. I seem to have a problem with installing the NIC driver for the VMware machine. How can I solve this problem..
January 28th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Do you have VMWare tools installed? I had this problem before installing vmware tools…
January 28th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Deji, If you use easyvmx to create a virtual machine, when you are configuring the NIC’s set the “connection type” as Bridged and set one of the “virtual devices” as VLANCE and the other as VMXNET. You can then look at the config file and copy\paste the NIC section in to your existing VM config. Same for CDROM Drives.
January 29th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Guys, thanks. I have used vmware server to create my virtual machines and I never had this problem. I have a cluster running 4.2(3) publisher and subscriber with exchange 2003 and unity 5 running all good.
thanks

Unfortunately, I don’t believe you can download the install disks from Cisco.com.

Nice tutorial,
I am using Vmware to install CCM. I have 1GB RAM total.I dedicate 512Mb to Vmware .However, CCM4.1(3) requires 1GB(min). Is there any windows registry hack or VMware tweak so that it could show installer 1GB ram instead of 512mb .Or is there any way to bypass RAM check in installation?
I understand this can impact performance but i really can’t upgrade RAM now.Does anyone has any possible solution other than upgrading?

I got both a Publisher and Subscriber loaded in VMWARE Server. I can get phones registered to Publisher but not Subscriber. I have change AUTO Registration to Pub and it works. When Sub is up phones wont register. ThHis is because I have it set first in CCM Group. Is this a SQL synchronization issue, SID issue, etc. Any advice is appreciated. Any tweaks necessary? I used the same hack, etc for the PUB and SUB.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Orb,
I am having a similiar issue. Except its an issue with the Services on the Sub. The CCM, TFTP, CTI simply will services will not start.
Anyone have any ideas why this would be? I have tried with Fresh installs of Pub and Sub and it is always the same problem on the Sub.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Orb,
I have great news. I don’t know what you are using for your VMWare Server but I am using an HP DL320-G2 with dual NIC’s. I set up the SUB to use NIC-2 (instead of bridging PUB and SUB on NIC-1) and now it works great. The PUB uses NIC-1 and the SUB uses NIC-2 and everything SYNC’s, all Services work on the SUB and the Phones can register in the SUB. Try this on your setup if you have Dual NIC’s and I bet it works. I think there is some issue here with the VMWare bridging and CCM PUB/SUB communications.
Good luck!
April 4th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Orb / Bill,
Sorry for the late response. I have been busy with an install this week.
I have not experienced any of these problems…yet. Were either of you able to get the issues resolved?
Josh
April 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Josh,
Yes I was. I am using an HP DL320-G2 with dual NIC’s as the VMWare Host Server Machine. Also want to mention I using VMWare Server(1.0.5) because before I had a chance to build a VM for Unity on the easyvmx website- the site was taken down and I had to build it myself. I set up the SUB to use NIC-2 (instead of bridging PUB and SUB on NIC-1) and now it works great. The PUB uses NIC-1 and the SUB uses NIC-2 and everything SYNC’s, all Services work on the SUB and the Phones can register with either the PUB or SUB to my liking.
Thanks.
April 6th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Thats odd the easyvmx.com site is back now. Well it was down for several days a week or so ago and not sure why.
April 6th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Bill,
Thank you for the feedback. Did both the pub and sub have the same mac address when using one NIC? I have not experienced these problems because I normally just build a publisher and work with just one server.
Thanks again for enlightening the rest of us on your findings.
Josh

I did run into some issues, but after investigating I found that it was a layer 8 issue ;)…
Again thanks, I will be trying to install 6.0 next…

@gussi321 - You are very welcome. Stay tuned to the blog. I have a guest blogger preparing for his Voice IE that I expect will bring some great posts related to Cisco IPT.

Unfortunately, this didn’t work too well for me.
I have a second HD, which is not my C: drive. My C: drive is almost out of space, so I got another, much bigger one. I do have some files on it already, but it only takes up about 2 GB out of 320 GB or so. Well, I’ve used the tutorial at Blindhog [http://www.blindhog.net/cisco-install-call-manager-4x-with-vmware] to attempt to partition this second HD for a VMware player download.
However, when it’s time to install the vmware player, it won’t give me the option to install on my D: drive in place of my almost-used-up C: drive. I went ahead anyway, hoping that it would give me the option later in the setup/download, but when it was all said and done, this second created partition with the separate XP OS has been placed on my C: drive. I won’t be able to run Cisco CallManager on it, as that HD is simply out of space.
I’ve never created partitions before, so I’m a novice at it. Does anyone know how to set this up on a separate drive? Where is the option to change this? Thanks.

Will the VMware CallManager work with the GNS3?
If yes what should I do in order to make this work?

@JTD - Sorry, I don’t know what to tell you… Can you install VMWare player on your c: drive and install the call manager files on your d: drive?

@AK - Yes, you can communicate with GNS3.
Here are all my gns3 tutorials. http://www.blindhog.net/category/gns3/
I don’t have one specifically for communicating with CCM yet, but there is enough information in the above tutorials to get you started.
Basically, you need to add a cloud object to your gns3 lab. Configure it for the vmware network adapter connected to the call manager, then connect the cloud to the switch or router in your gns3 lab.
