Introduction to Bootable_UCSInstall_CUC_15.0.1.11900-14.sha512.iso

This bootable ISO image provides the complete installation environment 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 “11900-14” build number indicates cumulative security patches for 14 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 C240 M7/M6 Rack Servers, aligning with Cisco’s 2025 Collaboration Software Roadmap.

Key Features and Technical Enhancements

  1. ​​64-Bit System Architecture​​
