Cisco CUCM/Call Manager – Running on Sun’s Virtual Box

2nd February 2010 / / 3 Comments

Well it is possible 🙂 with a bit of hacking – but thats what its all about, isn’t it !
I actually used an existing working VM that had been built on VMware.  I will test building one from scratch on VirtualBox but not 100% sure it will work….
Anyhooo…
1) Get the existing VMDK and copy it to your Virtual Box machine repository
2) Create a new VM using a Linux, Redhat, 1024MB RAM etc machine and set the disk as the VMDK
3) Modify the machine – I removed the sound card
4) Locate the machines XML config file.   The directory is set in VirtualBox’es config.  Edit it and add the following:

Add the following lines to it in the "<ExtraData> </ExtraData>" section:
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVersion" value="6 "/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemVendor" value="VMware"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVendor" value="Phoenix Technologies LTD"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" value="VMware Virtual Platform"/> 

(That bits from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029144)
5) Next follow the guide here http://www.blindhog.net/how-to-get-root-access-on-call-manager-56-server/ to get root access.  Make sure you use the CentOS Disk 1 rather than the Live Disk…….grrrrr
6) Edit the /usr/local/bin/base_scripts/hardware_check.sh script to look like this:
We essentially comment out the hardware check and validation 🙂

function check_deployment()
{
    local tmp_deployment
    initProductLibrary
    tmp_deployment="$deployment"
    # Check the deployment
#    isHardwareValidForDeployment $tmp_deployment
#    rc=$?
#   if [ $rc -ne 0 ]; then
#         log info "$tmp_deployment deployment Not Supported"
#         return 1
#    fi
    # Deployment is supported by this hardware
    log info "$tmp_deployment deployment Is Supported"
    return 0
}

 7) Save it and reboot
8) The VM should come up and work !

Cisco CUCM UCCX Queue Status Web Service

27th August 2009 / / 0 Comments

Heres a snip of somthing I wrote as an ‘add on’ the the free, Open Source SourceForge IPCC Wallboard package.
This uses code from the IPCC Wallboard package to access UCCX’s Historical database, and allows for queue information to be displayed on a Cisco IP Phone.
The formattings nasty as the IP Phone does not operate as a standard browser so theres lots of spaces and stuff to get things positioned right.
Ill post some information about how to get it working as a service in CUCM later…
