Introduction to UCSInstall_UCOS_15.0.1.11900-23.sha512.iso

This bootable ISO image provides the complete installation package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1 on Unified Computing System (UCS) platforms. Designed under Cisco’s Zero-Touch Provisioning framework, it integrates SHA-512 cryptographic validation to ensure file integrity during deployment. The “11900-23” build number indicates cumulative security patches for 23 CVEs disclosed in Q1 2025, including critical fixes for TLS 1.3 implementation vulnerabilities.

Compatible with VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+ and KVM 5.18+ environments, this release supports multi-node CUCM clusters up to 20 subscribers. The ISO contains preconfigured templates for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers (C240 M7/M6) and C-Series Rack Servers, aligning with Cisco’s 2025 Collaboration Software Roadmap.
