Can you produce a screenshot of this message ?<br />

<blockquote>
<br />
I am getting an error saying that incompatible hardware detected.

<br />
It is possible, that you need to select the Expose Intel VT hardware to the VM, in the setup of VMware Workstation VM.

<div>
Maybe but im not sure what that means or how to do it. &nbsp; &nbsp;Arent you tired of helping me yet lol &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Screenshot, and then we can see what the error is.

<div>
that is an interesting error message, and does not really say anything.<br />
<br />
have you got the OVA ?<br />
<br />
it could be related to memory, disk, CPU....
</div>


<div>
I have read that this error is a false error and can be ignored. &nbsp;I hit ok and am continueing my install. I will update if it is successful.
</div>


<div>
I was able to finish the actual install process but recieved an error. Im not sure if this is a VM issue or a CUCM issue but below is the error and im not sure how to find out exactly what the issue is.<br><br><a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465718/1591819927030.png" rel="ugc"><img src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465718/1591819927030.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><br><a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465720/1591819970451.png" rel="ugc"><img src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465720/1591819970451.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465721/1591820007220.png" rel="ugc"><br><br><img src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465721/1591820007220.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465723/1591820051453.png" rel="ugc"><img src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2020/06_w24/1465723/1591820051453.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a><br>

<div>
I dont have a serial port on my pc or any way that i know of to see what the error is.
</div>


<div>
Okay, that suggest the virtual machine config, is not correct.<br />
<br />
e.g. how you configured it, nothing to do with ESXi, you may have got the same issue with VMware Workstation, it could be memory, cpu, disk storage.<br />
<br />
What are you settings for this VM ?<br />
<br />
Well that's not going to help, because the VM is nested, and no serial ports easily define, and dump info probably rubbish anyway.

<div>
if you right click the VM, and select Edit Settings, we can check what specifications you've created.

Not sure if it doesnt like the NTP settings that i put in or the CUCM ip address. Before on a seperate server it would stop me at any point when it didnt like something and now it seems just to accept everything until the end and give me an error that i cant decipher. &nbsp;I dont have any service contracts connected to my Cisco account so i cant download an ova. I have no idea where to go from here.

<div>
So i was able to get the ISO to mostly install just using VM Workstation and not installing it on the ESXI VM. Will this work for me? When i do this i am getting an NTP error. I am researching how to make my 2921 an NTP server and will open up a seperate ticket for that.
</div>


<div>
NTP error is just caused by it cannot get time!<br />
<br />
It depends what CUCM was designed for!

I have set the router to what i thought would be correct but i cant get past this error. I do remember years ago when i did this that NTP was a nightmare.
</div>

<div>
did you use the IP Address of an NTP server ?
</div>


<div>
Regarding the serial port you don't need a physical one on your PC, <a href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-C6FBCF66-5796-4EE6-BF47-4DCAA9DCD1E3.html" rel="ugc nofollow">https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-C6FBCF66-5796-4EE6-BF47-4DCAA9DCD1E3.html</a>&nbsp;tells how to use a file.
</div>


<div>
I dont have my router connected to the internet. Is it possible to use one from the internet and have that virtual connect to that?
</div>


<div>
Ty Andy. I will look into that. I am pretty new to this so im not sure if my VM can even reach the internet.
</div>


<div>
You first need to establish, does this VM have an IP Address, can you ping the CUCM VM ?
</div>


<div>
No, i cant finish install until i fix the NTP issue.
</div>


<div>
Ok so after reinstalling my CUCM i finally got it installed. &nbsp;It was rejecting my NTP server. I ended up using Googles NTP server address and it took it. <br><br>
</div>


<div>
Well i am now having an issue with reaching the NTP server but as far as VM yes it is. &nbsp;I have opened a seperate question for that.

Installing CUCM on ESXI Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Redhat

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
