Preparation

Introduction

This book provides helpful details for Cisco Collaboration applications installing on or migrating to specific examples of virtualization hardware.


Note
For Cisco Business Edition 6000 and 7000 appliance servers, do not follow the procedures in this document as the appliance servers ship with factory-setup hardware and factory-preloaded software and you will overwrite the preloaded software. Instead, use the Cisco Business Edition 6000 or 7000 Installation Guide at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/business-edition-6000/tsd-products-support-series-home.html or https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/business-edition-7000/tsd-products-support-series-home.html.
