We use cucm 9.1 here and I just changed the MOH the other day. These instructions may not be exactly for 8.6 but they should be close. The thing to remember is you should use restart and not reset when resetting the phones. I will mark it in the instructions where I am talking about resetting will kick everyone off of the phones even if they are in a call. Restarting will try to preserve the call and restart when the hang up. 
Best if the file is a .wav file
Adding a audio file
Media resources | MOH Audio File Management
Upload file
Choose file. (Can be uploaded directly from the users PC that is logged into CUCM)
Adding the audio file to the audio source
Media resources | Music on Hold Audio Source
Select Add New
Select a MOH Audio Stream Number from the drop down
Select the Audio file within the MOH Audio Source File
Create a name for the file in the MOH Audio Source Name
Select save and the page should list the file status and should also populate the other audio files that are being used.
Adding the audio file to all phones
Bulk Administration | Phones | Update Phones | Query
Find Phones where (device name) (begins with)sepclick find
Click next in the upper left hand corner
Go to drop downs for 
User Hold MOH Audio Source
Network Hold MOH Audio Source
Select the audio file you want to use
Scroll to the bottom of the page 
In the Job Information section ensure run later is selected
Select submit
Best to do want follows during a off hours.
Go to Bulk Administration | Job Scheduler
The job should be listed and under status it should be on hold.
When the time comes select the job then select (Activate Selected)
When the job says completed all of the phones need to be reset. May take a few minutes. 
Go to Device | Phone
Find Phone where (device name) (begins with)sepclick find. (All phone names should start with sep. then followed by the mac address.)
Expand Rows per page to Max. (250)
Select all phones then select (Reset Selected) at the top of the page. (('Here is where you want to choose restart')).
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select page 2 and repeat.
Hope this helps. 

The key thing is that you must use a 'machine' id of 'pc-1.3' or it will say your hardware is not supported.
Additionally you MUST use a virtio disk or you will get a ks_pre.sh error as soon as the install starts (a look at logs will show it can't find a disk). This is funny because even though the OS finds the disk and an fdisk -l shows it, it looks like the script looks for a /dev/vda device (virtio) and nothing else, so if you didn't use Virtio as your disk and you have a /dev/sda it won't work. Or follow the step below to change the search pattern of vd to sd
In Promxox you will have to edit your config file like this:
bootdisk: sata0
 cores: 12
 ide2: local:iso/Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_12.iso,media=cdrom,size=3523684K
machine: pc-1.3
 memory: 8096
 name: ciscouc
 net0: virtio=DE:C3:A0:F8:50:11,bridge=vmbr0
 numa: 0
 ostype: l26
 scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
 smbios1: uuid=99bf1ee3-b527-4ea2-bf68-179bee9699b1
 sockets: 1
 unused0: thin:vm-124-disk-1
virtio0: thin:vm-124-disk-2,size=90G
Raw QEMU-KVM execution:
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot dc -smp 4 -machine pc-1.3 -vnc :1 -m 8096 -drive file=cucum86.img,if=virtio -cdrom Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_12.iso
The following assumes you are mounting your CUCM iso into 'cucmmount' Donut county.
#we make the following directories (cucmmount is where we mount the iso and cucmeditiso is where we copy the files to so we can modify and recreate the .iso)
