How to Make a Bootable DVD for Installing Cisco UC Products

Lately, I've been asked a lot about how to make a bootable disk for a Cisco Unified Communication Manager installation for a lab or test environment. This is quite easy to do, and the procedure has been repeatedly described in various sources. In my lab I use the method described here:

IMPORTANT! This method is not recommended by the vendor. Therefore, it is suitable only for installations of products for the purpose of familiarization or training, but not for real projects.

  1. А я делаю вот так
    1. Скачиваем утилиты cdrtools - http://smithii.com/files/cdrtools-latest.zip

    2. Распаковываем в папку. Например, в D:\mkiso\

    3. Берем скачанный UCSInstall_UCOS_8.6.x-xxxxx-x.sgn.iso или UCSInstall_UCOS_9.0.1.10000-31.sgn.iso

    4. Распаковываем содержимое UCSInstall_UCOS_9.0.1.10000-31.sgn.iso в папку, например, в D:\UCSInstall_UCOS_9.0.1.10000-31.sgn

    5. В командной строке переходим в UCSInstall_UCOS_9.0.1.10000-31.sgn

    6. Затем там же в командной строке выполняем команду: D:\mkiso\mkisofs.exe -A "CDROM" -V "CDROM" -p "Cisco" -J -R -r -v -T -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o D:/Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_9.0.1.10000-31.sgn.iso .
    Точка в конце нужна

    1. Добрый день, обратиться нужно к своему интегратору/дистрибьютеру. По идее, если Ваша компания купила решение циско легально, то должны были дать и легальный установочный софт.
