Memory requirements are crazy for sure but only for the install. Once installed you can scale it back to 2 or 4gb and the only downside I have seen is the warning message when you boot up the VM Ofcourse this is not a recommended path for a customer site but for a lab it is all gravy. Let me know if you have any more questions or would like to blog about your experience here

Yes this will be for a home lab so I can stay current on my CCVP cert. My main concern was the speed of the VM’s and I wasn’t sure if fusion would work with 8.6 either. I was looking at some of the OVA’s and the memory requirements are pretty intense.

I think you will be fine considering I ran CUCM and CUC on a macbook pro with 8gb ram. It might not be perfect but I don’t see any reason why it won’t work. IS this your home lab?

I was thinking about building a lab using a new Mac Mini instead buying a C200 with CUCMBE on it. Mainly for noise, power and consolidation reasons. Do you know if I can run CUCM and Unity Connection on the same server with just 8GBs of RAM? The Mac Mini tops out at 8 and I dont think it would be enough if both VMs needed 4GBs. Thanks

I think the problem is NAT. Are you running NAT or Bridged mode for your Fusion?

Comment on OSPF Network Types by sensei

Great article. A few additional points worth noting:

* The Point to Multipoint Broadcast dead interval is listed as 40. It is actually 120 (4 x hello int. still applies.)

* Point to Multipoint Non-Broadcast does not list the next-hop address behavior. The next-hop reflects the advertising router as well.

Again, thanks for the article. This helped me think my way through an OSPF-on-Frame-Relay issue I was having.
