Convert Non-Bootable Cisco CUCM/UCCX Images into Bootable Images

Most of the time you will find / download CUCM / UCCX etc images in non bootable formats which will not be installed on VMware Workstation or other platforms easily. For lab purposes you will find this post very useful. I am using UltraISO for this tutorial.

Open or extract your image to see the contents in it. Refer the following image..

(click on the image to view in full size)

You can see a [BOOT] folder in the contents. If so this is a bootable image. If that folder does not exist, it is a non-bootable image and it will show an error "Operating System not found" when you are going to install in VMWare Workstation etc.

I am converting a UCCX image here. UCSInstall_UCCX_9_0_2_UCOS_9.0.2.11002-27.sgn.iso is the image I downloaded from Cisco.

Open UltraISO and go to File > Open and open the image..

Go to isolinux folder and extract isolinux.bin to your desktop or somewhere..

Go to Bootable and select Generate Bootinfotable..

Go to Bootable and click on Load Boot File and select the extracted bin file previously.

Finally go to File > Save As and give a name like Bootable_UCCX.iso
Now its is ready to install in VMWare workstation etc.
