I-Virtualization Hardware
Before you install the Finesse software on any server, you must address the following requirement:
- If you are performing a fresh install of Finesse in any deployment, be sure to verify that the virtual machine is also fresh (no previously-installed OS is present in the VM).
- If you use SATA 7200 RPM disks in your server, you must configure the datastore as RAID 10.
I-Virtualization Software
All Finesse servers run on VMs using the Unified Communications Operating System (Unified OS or UCOS).
Bheka https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-software-requirements.html.
- Finesse ISO or DVD

Qaphela You must install Finesse by configuring a Data Store ISO file ku-virtual CD noma i-DVD drive ye-VM eqondiwe. - ESXi must be installed prior to the installation of Cisco Finesse.
Kusetshenziswa Imishini Ebonakalayo ye-Cisco Finesse
Yenza lezi zinyathelo ezilandelayo kuklayenti le-vSphere ukuze usebenzise imishini ebonakalayo:
Ngaphambi kokuthi uqale
Bona Izidingo ze-VMWare Yezokuxhumana Ezihlanganisiwe.
Izidingo zesofthiwe ezilandelayo zisebenza ngokukhethekile ku-Finesse:
- For other third-party software requirements and for a list of approved UCS servers, see the server requirements and version compatibility with Unified CM sections in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1844/products_implementation_design_guides_list.html.
Inqubo
Isinyathelo 1 Highlight the host or cluster to which you wish the VM to be deployed.
Isinyathelo 2 Khetha File > Sebenzisa isifanekiso se-OVF.
Isinyathelo 3 Chofoza okuthi Sebenzisa kusuka File inkinobho yomsakazo futhi ucacise igama nendawo ye file ulande esigabeni sangaphambilini NOMA chofoza okuthi Sebenzisa kusuka URL inkinobho yomsakazo futhi ucacise okuphelele URL in the field, then click Next.
Isinyathelo 4 Enter the name of the VM machine that you are creating and the location where it will be created.
Isinyathelo 5 Choose the type of deployment (Production or Lab).
Isinyathelo 6 Choose the datastore on which you would like the VM to reside (ensure there is sufficient free space to accommodate the new VM), then click Next.
Isinyathelo 7 Verify the deployment settings, then click Finish.
Isinyathelo 8 Update boot order as per instructions as specified in the topic Changing the Boot Order of the Virtual Machine.
Isinyathelo 9 Insert the Finesse disk and follow the instructions specified in the topic Cisco Finesse Server Installation.
Ukushintsha i-Boot Order yomshini obonakalayo
Kufanele ushintshe i-oda lokuqalisa loMshini Obonakalayo ukuze isistimu isuke ku-CD/DVD drive ukuze ifakwe. Yenza lezi zinyathelo ezilandelayo ukuze uguqule i-oda lokuqalisa loMshini Obonakalayo:
Inqubo
Isinyathelo 1 In VMware vSphere Client, power off the virtual machine onto which you deployed the OVA .
Isinyathelo 2 In the left pane of vSphere Client, right-click the name of the virtual machine, and select Edit Settings.
Isinyathelo 3 In the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box, select the Options tab.
Isinyathelo 4 In the Settings column, under Advanced, select Boot Options.
Isinyathelo 5 Under Force BIOS Setup, check The Next Time the Virtual Machine Boots, Force Entry into the BIOS Setup Screen check box.
Isinyathelo 6 Click OK to close the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box.
Isinyathelo 7 Power on the virtual machine (the virtual machine boots into the BIOS menu).
Isinyathelo 8 Navigate to the Boot menu and change the boot device order so the CD-ROM device is listed first and the Hard Drive device is listed second.
Isinyathelo 9 Londoloza ushintsho bese uphuma ekusetheni i-BIOS.
Qaphela
After finishing the installation, consider changing the boot order back so that the Hard Drive device is again listed before the CD-ROM device.
