CM & Unity on same test server

[cobac]

Is it possible for CM 4.1 and Unity to run on the same server in a test / small environment? Just curious if both services can function on one server and if so, any particular functions that would not work in this setup.

(Trying to determine the number of servers I need for a lab).

Thanks

I guess that would be a no?

You used to be able to do this with Unity 3.1 and CCM 3.1. I had a class once that the instructor had this setup. I never knew the hack. I've never scene it done in the newer versions.
Depending on how elaborate of a lab you need, you can use almost anything for a Unity server. I have one running on a generic PC with an Athlon 850 processor in my lab. CCM can be put on a generic PC also. Look in the forum for the CCM hacks.

CCM has it's own OS W2K image that's required by use per Cisco, that's already been configured and such to run with the CCM application. Unity can use either the server manufacturer's W2K image or a straight install of W2K from CD. There are other differences, but that's the one that comes straight to mind (aside from the fact that the two programs are so fundamentally different, and just to run CCM 4.X by itself you'll need bare-minimum 1 GB of RAM).

It's never a wise idea to run Unity and CallManager on the same server; you'll just run into unnecessary headaches. I have a test lab made up of four Dell PC's - one for Unity, one for the Exchange back-end, and two CCM's, one publisher, one subscriber. All have 1 GB of RAM and at least a P4 1.5 ghz processor. A bit slow, but they all work exactly as they should...

You could buy a copy of VMWare and run it on the same server that way. Info on installing CCM in VMWare can be found here
