UC Advanced and Microsoft Hyper-V

[RDECIT]

Could anyone tell me if UC and Hyper-V work together ok. We have UC in VMWare no problem, but a client has insisted we use Hyper-V.

I've checked the Mitel Knowledgebase and UCA Engineering guidlines and we have an open call with Mitel with no response.

It will probably work OK in Hyper-V
I have a few applications installed on Hyper-V with no issues
The problem is risk
If you are prepared to take resposibility if things don't work as expected then why not try it.
Mitel does not 'support' Hyper-V so if you have an issue running in this enviroment then Mitel's stock answer will be it is not a supported configuration go away!

So it's really up to you if you run Hyper-V then you will need to change the licence back to a standard licence (no VMware support) then install the MSL and add the blades.

Agree with the above but an interesting point, the UC detects vmware and therefore requires you to have a virtulisation license, will hyper-v also be detected and require this or not?.

 

[Supernova99]

Probably not
When installed an vApp there is a lot of other things that are setup in the background
Memory, processor, disk space and NIC cards and I suspect the licence will be looking for a VMware virtual MAC address

As already stated Mitel doesn't support anything other then vMWare deployments. Seen lots of posts where people have various product working in Hyper V but again as others have stated you are on your own. Its great the customer is willing to try virtualization but they will have to decide if they want to use an unsupported deployment.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.
