I recently inherited a Cisco CUCM system which according to documentation I have is a BE6K. It looks like an ESXi (free) host running on a Cisco UCS 220. There is also (unrelated) at this site a pair of Dell servers running vsphere 6.0.
I wanted to migrate the CUCM to these two vSphere Dell hosts since then i'd get a little resiliency and remove the UCS 220 thus reducing physical server count.
I was told the CCIE Voice/collab that installed the system said they could not do this because the minimum spec for CUCM 10.5 is for a 2.4GHz processor and these dells are slower than that. Even though they have a higher core count they don't meet the spec and therefore Cisco could blame any issue we have in future on not meeting the spec.
Is this reasonable for Cisco or was the CCIE just being cautious in this case? Were they just looking to make more sales by selling the UCS 220?
