Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), formerly Cisco Unified CallManager and Cisco CallManager (CCM), is a software based IP call agent platform sold by Cisco Systems. Cisco renamed the product to Unified Communications Manager. Version 6 was supposed to merge all features of the Linux appliance (SIP support and licensing requirements) between the Linux platform and Windows version. The released version of Unified Communications Manager will not support the Windows platform.

This version added an intercom feature between endpoints, and integrated Mobility Manager (single number reach to multiple destinations, IP Phone, Cell Phone, etc).

This version utilizes a slightly different licensing model from that found in 5.X. First off, CUCM 6.0 requires service licenses (for Communications Manager, etc.) and comes with a ’starter’ license for a single node and 50 device weights (about 10 phones), and will install natively on VMWare for lab purposes.

Also released was Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CUCMBE, aka Cucumber), which places Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0 and Cisco Unity Connections 2.0 (Voicemail) on the same server (with 6GB of RAM).

Version 6.1 was released in January of 2008.

I have no experience using the CCM yet I have some CCM 5 and 5.1 but didn’t successfully installed except your CM 6.0. Please send me I would appreciate your help.

    Thanks MAC

  2. make sure, u hv already configure ur CCM IP;

    just click it.

    the login page will appear with the address bar link:
    https://10.32.16.165:8443/ccmadmin/showHome.do

  3. MACATTACK

    Hi thanks for the help, anyway I am now installing it in my VMWARE with 2 processor.

    Can you send me any lab using dynamips and CCM 6 with ip phones. I have vto go software and dyanmips. But no idead how to setup properly.

    Please help…
    thanks

  4. MACATTACK

    In addition, is it possible to skip the configuration and let it install…. later I will setup the interface….

    Would be glad if you could post a tutorial installing setp by step on vmware and a sample 2 labs….. atleast local setup later I will do the WAN setup when I successfullly have this lab….

    pls…

  5. MACATTACK

    Ahhh it’s failing when installing the CCM 6 on vmware. Can you give me your setup, how did you made success installing the ccm

  6. ST Crisco

    Hey Mr Aziz thanks kindly for this share, i’ll download it during this but does this soft include a licence cauz with the version uploaded by others members in different sites the CCM 5.1.1002 linux based version, to run the services u need a licence!

    thnaks again

  7. @MACATTACK
    I use Intel XEON 2 Ghz with 4Gib RAM while installing it, then I use lower PC with only use 664Mib RAM for running. just follow the instruction:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/install/6_0_1/install/cmins601.pdf

    U can skip the configuration, then configure later. Sorry I hv no dynamips lab.

    @ST Crisco
    It doesn’t include a license, u need to buy it:-). Without a license, it just “demo version” and as far as I know; demo version only support 8 nodes and 100K device units.

  9. FAdi Had

    Dear sir,
    I managed to download the file. and I need to install it on virtual machine. when I boot the machine by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager DVD. and I follow the steps but when this all finish it says that there is no partition on the hard disk “partitioning failed” and then it boots again. How to partition my hard disk drive to be enabled to install call manager and in what tool?

  10. ernesto,
    this my hardware lab:
    - ASUS dual Intel XEON server
    - 2Ghz/4 Gib RAM
    - OS Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
    - Vmware server console 1.0.2
    But actually Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 6.0 works as an Appliance on a non-Windows-based Operating System. Works on a specific hardware platform (IBM and HP). read more on install guide.

    FAdi had,
    I have failed too, It seem can’t detect HD while installing it on non-branded PC. I try to use my Asus server and it work..
    On Vmware config, use IDE harddisk, and Guest OS >>Linux; version >>Linux Other.

  11. fresh

    create a 72Gb HDD on VMWARE and the partitioning issue will go away. You dont have to reserve the space.

  12. Thank you fresh.
    @FAdi Had, you may try it. create 72Gb hdd first..

  13. phanhung

    Dear ;
    I had download cisco unified comunication 6.0.1 and install it in VMware . But can’t login to CUCM 6.0.1 with my user name and password .
    Someone advise for me , Please .

    Thanks .

  14. @phanhung,
    please remember that during installation you will faced with 3 kind of user/password:
    - Administrator account
    for login to Operating System Administration, Disaster Recovery System and Command Line Interface.

    - Application User
    login to Application that are installed on system

    - Database Access Security
    to authorize communications between nodes in cluster.

    So, the user/password for OS and login to web interface is different..I think you forgot one of them :-)

    See on install guide for detail info:

    Can you please explain whta does this license report means.
    i dint install any license ,then how come its showing 100000 nodes and all that?

  16. @walialig
    it’s not 100000 nodes, but 100000 Phone License Feature. exp, if you install Cisco IP Communicator on client PC it will take 3 licenses/PC, and cisco ip phone 7960 = 4 licenses/unit.

    From web interface, Go to “System > Licensing > License Unit Calculator’ for detail.

  17. Osman

    I have installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0.1 on a linux machine. I only get the CLI prompt and unable to get the GUI.

    Please tell me how to get the gui.

    Thanks

  18. @Osman
    If you install CUCM601 and configure the network correctly as what I said on comment 2, you done!. Read the install guide (cmins601.pdf), you will find more step by step on how to install and configure the network, services etc..

  24. John

    Hi. Thanks for the information. Really the CCM works. I have a softphone, one IP Phone 7960 and one IP Phone 7941 connected to UC500. I want to practice with CCM6 but I don´t know how can, for example, activate Tftp service in the CCM 6 (linux Red Hat Enterprise 3). Do you have any tutorial (or link) that shows how can activate Ip phone service? Thanks

  25. @Mohammed ateeeque
    Wa’alaikum salam
    Open Web GUI, then choose ‘Disaster Recover System’ from the Navigation menu in the upper, right corner of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration window.
    Here the manual guide:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/drs/6_0_1/drs/drsag601.html

    @John
    You can activate tftp services from “Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability”; Just open the CUCM 6.01 web GUI, then choose Serviceability from the Navigation drop-down list box in the upper, right corner of the window.

    Click Tools>Services Activation

    for further reference, read the manual here:

  31. Howei

    Great blog. Believe it or not, your website was the only place i could find about restarting my TFTP server after i kept getting an “inactive” status in the System > Service Parameters section.

    Still have NO idea why my tftp service was shut off but at least I got familiar with the Tools > Service Activation section.

    Several small questions I have:

    1) any idea what might have caused my TFTP server to suddenly become inactive? I swear I didn’t do it myself

    2) Is there a place where one can download Cisco’s IP
    Communicator? I have a COO account but since i’m not affiliated with a partnership, I don’t have license.
    But someone must have a hack right?

    3) I notice that after idle time for a few minutes, CCM requires a re-login. Any way to disable this? After all, this is just my lab setting so no security threat….plus, it gets annoying having keep logging in when I take a break.

  32. user

  59. jherlitz

    Okay, I have the following server.

    HP Proliant DL360 G3 2 x 3.0GHz/ 3GB/ 2x 73GB 10K/ RAID

    I boot up the server to the DVD media and it tells me the hardware is not compatible and terminates. At first I thought it was because of the raid, it does this 4gb boot partition in the 1+0 so the virtual disk is only 67gb. Thinking that was holding it up, I changed it to raid 0 so I have a 135gb virtual disk.

    The installation still errors out with unsupported hardware.

    What on earth is going on? Any ideas?

  60. Daniel-FR

    Hey
    Thank you for the tuto and the links
    Actually CCM is available for download
    It’s working on Vmware server 2.0 under Linux but not on Sunbox
    I have a slight problem you may have encountered:
    I cannot install software updates either when choosing local or ftp
    when I click next nothing happens
    tested with Firefox under Linux and IE (should I say under Windows..)
    Actually what I really need is the format of the xml files for C7975G
    Localisation files , config and dialplan, etc..
    I plan to have them connected to an Asterisk
    I found some samples of config files but with few modifications and not documented at all
    Thanks in advance

  61. Daniel-FR

    I answer to myself
    A reboot was needed
    Actually ccm6 is really eager when runing on virtual machine:

    Under Vmware allocate as much disk space as necessary (20GB mini)
    and close every applications

  62. Mitza

    CCM 6
    I can’t log in “Localhost login:”
    Why?
    i was carefull when selecting passwords
    I believe it is the Administrator password i must provide.
    Still it does not work
    Why?

    I’m using Vmware workstation 6.5

    Can you help???

  63. Mahmoud

    Same problem…. um sure from the password and user name but login failed please somebody advice

  64. hi Mitza/Mahmoud,
    as I told you that during installation you will faced with 3 kind of user/password:
    - Administrator account
    for login to Operating System Administration, Disaster Recovery System and Command Line Interface.

    - Application User
    login to Application that are installed on system

    - Database Access Security
    to authorize communications between nodes in cluster.

    the user and password are different , so I think, better for you to reinstall again, while you prompted with user/password, write down it on paper (not only the password but the username also), continue installation till finish, then try to login.

    • Mitza

      I did what you told me to do.
      Still doesn’t work.

      Why is it asking me for “”Localhost login:”"??? and not CCM login????

      I entered Admin user and password and still it doesn’t work.

      I thought it will ask for admin password.
      Even if it’s the same ,i tried and doesn’t work.
      I used Vmware workstation 6.5, and VMplayer .

      What should i do.

      • Mitza,
        you mean, you prompted with “localhost login: ” while you access it using the browser?. what is the IP address of your CCM ? what is the address did you type on browser?.
        Please, don’t be confused with your localhost IIS web server on your PC/laptop.

      • Mitza

        No,”" Localhost login:”" appears in console mode.
        I guess i can’t use the browser until i dont log in as admin in console mode. At least this is what i saw in tutorial.
        I’t like in the picture on top of the page ,with Vmware server console . But mine doesn’t ask for cucm login. idose ask for localhost login.

      • Okay. I think you are forgot; either the username or password. Sorry, can’t help on this.

        in example above, “CUCM601″ its just a hostname. so no problem if you choose “localhost” for hostname.

  65. Mario Milhazes

    Hi

    I am running vmware workstation 6.5
    I instaled CCM without erros following the steps in the video of Josh on took down on paper all the usernames and passwords created, basically the same for everyting.

    After successful installation and reboot, It goes to login prompt.
    I tried all username/pwd, that I configured while installing CCM along with root/no pwd
    sudo/no pwd, etc etc.
    I also cannot access via web browser…

    Uninstalled and installed CCM 3 times, but i still cannot login……getting desesperate
    Could some one give me a hand?

    Thanks.

  66. Mitza

    Well i didn’t choose the hostname “”Localhost”", i chose ccm or something else, but anything i choose it stil displays “Localhost”

    I didn’t forget the username or password because i wrote them on paper.

    • Mario Milhazes

      Hi Mitza

      I have the same problem.
      I used the same username and password for all the logins requested.
      Now i cant login.

  67. Mitza/Mario,
    are both of you using Vmware Workstation?. it quiet strange if setup the hostname “ccm” but you got login prompt “localhost”. Don’t forget while prompted with “DHCP configuration” you select NO, then configure ip address and the gateway also. for DNS client, just select NO.

    Please be aware that; while you prompted with “Administration Login Configuration”, the user/password are for login to system console.
    and the another one is “Application User Configuration”, its user/password are for Webpage Console.

    Because, at least six characters long, better for you to choose user/password like this:
    user : CCMAdministrator
    password : password
    Please use the Vmware Server instead of Vmware Workstation. I use Vmware Server also while installing this CUCM.
