Hi Guys Had an issue where I was unable to deploy a Cisco Unified Call Manager 11.5 OVA to the VMWare Esxi 6.5 standalone server. The following error would appear during the provision of the VM - "At least one extra disk image was provided that will be ignored". The solution to import the Cisco OVA into VMware is to use VMware's OVFTool. The commands I used worked for also UCCX and Cisco Unity Connect - CUCM Deployment for 2500 Users --------------------------------- ovftool --acceptAllEulas --datastore="datastore1" -dm="thick" --name="CUCM01-PUB" --net:"eth0"="Voice" --deploymentOption="CUCM_2500" "c:\temp\cucm_11.5_vmv8_v1.1.ova" vi://UserName:Password@IPAddress UCCX ---- ovftool --acceptAllEulas --datastore="datastore1" -dm="thick" --name="UCCX1" --net:"eth0"="Voice" --deploymentOption="UCCX_400_Agent" "C:\temp\UCCX_11.

I recently had an issue where I needed to complete a restore (new build) of Cisco's Attendant Console Advanced V12 in order to satisfy testing criteria. I followed Cisco's documentation (CUACA_120101_Install-Guide.pdf) however the steps were not completely clear. The solution that I am working with here is a standalone deployment. Delete all devices and numbers related to Cisco Attendants Console in CUCM. These include; CT Gateway Devices Service Devices Park Devices CTI Route Points Numbers related to the above (directory number in CUCM) You may need to refer to your low level design to find this information out. In the CUCM, the descriptions for these devices are prefixed with ASD. The devices are names are prefixed with PD, SB, GB and RB.  Setup new server using OVA Install the same Windows OS Ensure the hostname of the new server matches the name of the old server Restore the CUACA crypto keys including aeskey.dat - these need to be taken from the live publis
