5.0 U3 on UCS C220 M3 SFF, check the UCS interop matrix to see if any updates required before U3 will work on that hardware. Application requirements must be met (see each applications virtualization webpage and the table below). Customers who want to use less storage space must use the 1x110GB vdisk and a reinstall plus restore from backup is required to change from 2x80GB to 1x110GB. E.g.
9.0 and later
See vMotion for what is supported. Cisco Collaboration apps do not prescribe or proscribe individual ESXi patches and updates. Consider SSD pairs of sufficient usable space. Moving a shut down VM during a maintenance window, i.e. Cisco does not produce OVA files for newer vmv versions, or test newer vmv versions since VMware indicates these are backwards compatible. Questions? Required usable space is ~954GB. The only supported scenario is a manual move to a different server, e.g. Cisco Social Miner
Use for publishers, subscribers, standalone TFTP, standalone multicast MOH nodes, ELM or PAWS-M. Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solutions has an alternative 2,500 user VM configuration.

Here are some redirects to popular content migrated from DocWiki. See documentation of those applications for details. With a particular supported major/minor version (such as ESXi 5.1)
For guide to abbreviations, see At a Glance table at http://www.cisco.com/go/virtualized-collaboration. Start learning cybersecurity with CBT Nuggets. Cisco Unified Communications IM&P consists of up to six servers, including one server that is designated as a publisher. Also note that enablement of specific VMware vSphere management features may require vCenter and/or a higher feature Edition of vSphere ESXi. Set the following parameters from 1 to 0: Reboot the ESXi host to activate these changes. IBM Cloud and others are not supported). Cisco physical / virtual networking infrastructure is presumed transparent to Collaboration workloads.
HCL, latencies, application VM capacity and performance needs). Before reading the best practices below, verify support at Supported Editions and Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client. Assume Xeon 6126 which will support required applications' "medium" capacity point and VM configurations. Virtualization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) Version 14 Version 12.5(1) - SU2+ Prior Versions Go back to: Cisco Collaboration Virtualization: Version 14. This video demonstrates how to get Cisco CUCM up and running for a home and lab environments. If mixing capacity points in the same UCM cluster then the scale per cluster and the density per node continue to be limited to that of the. Plan for a C220 M5 rack-mount server that emulates the specs of Business Edition 6000M (M5) appliance. Cisco Collaboration applications do not support any 3rd-party public cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offer. All hardware/software for collaboration must be redundant. When enabled on VMs running ESXi 4.1 or later, you may experience slow TCP performance on certain operating systems (depending on which Collaboration application and version). This could yield the following applications and application sizing: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/business-edition-6000/products-installation-guides-list.html, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/business-edition-7000/products-installation-guides-list.html, https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere.html#compare, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/business-edition-6000/products-implementation-design-guides-list.html, Virtualization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), UCS Hardware and Software Compatibility tool, https://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-server.html, ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/74979/products-formerly-ice-lake.html#@Server, amd.com/en/processors/epyc-7003-series#New-Models, ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/124664/cascade-lake.html#@Server, ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/37572/skylake.html#@Server, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/series/93797/intel-xeon-processor-e7-v4-family.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/series/78585/intel-xeon-processor-e7-v3-family.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/series/91287/intel-xeon-processor-e5-v4-family.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/series/78583/intel-xeon-processor-e5-v3-family.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/series/78584/intel-xeon-processor-e7-v2-family.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/68926/ivy-bridge-ep.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/series/59138/intel-xeon-processor-e5-family.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/64276/sandy-bridge-ep.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/67492/ivy-bridge-en.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/29900/sandy-bridge.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/33175/westmere-ex.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/64238/nehalem-ex.html, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/54534/westmere-ep.html, Virtualization for Unified Contact Center Enterprise, Virtualization for Cisco Webex Meetings Server, Cisco Collaboration 12x guidelines for Network Infrastructure, https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-qos-designs-considerations.html#LAN_Trunking_Traffic, https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-software-requirements.html#vnetwork_switch, Unified Communications Using Cisco BE6000: Cisco Validated Design Guide, Max vcpu per VM same as general-purpose vSphere Standard Edition, ESXi APIs for Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment, See Business Edition 6000 or 7000 Installation Guide.

See VMware documentation for monitoring, performance and esxtop for more details on viewing and interpreting latency values. Not supported. Destination physical server must not end up with over-subscribed hardware after the migration. Some virtualized UCS servers are configured with multiple physical NICs (see UCS page at http://www.cisco.com/go/swonly). Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
End of support - no version upgrades available. 7.x of UC apps with VMware vSphere on limited 3rd-party servers), see the following links: The vmv represents the version of virtual hardware. Before reading the best practices below, verify support at Supported Editions and Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client. a "cold migration" or "host to host migration", is not vMotion and is supported. Requires SAN storage. Caveated Support for VMware CPU Reservations and Distributed Resource Scheduler). Note Backup and restore for Cisco Collaboration applications are not supported on soft media. This video is an updated version from the previous 8.6 video (. Otherwise, unless indicated NOT to by a Cisco Collaboration app, customers are free to manually upgrade the vmv to a newer vmv supported by the ESXi version. the recommendations below only apply to single cluster deployments. NOTE: support varies by app and version. 6K max BHCC per VM
Cisco HyperFlex mandates vCenter regardless of the apps. Cisco Collaboration apps do not consult on or debug virtual switch configuration outside of networking guidance in design guides. Introduction to Cisco Unified Communication Manager. Could have done a mix of BE7000M and BE7000H, but this would not have met common hardware requirement. When deployed on other supported servers, use for publishers, subscribers, standalone TFTP, standalone multicast MOH nodes, ELM or PAWS-M. This content has been moved to Cisco Collaboration Infrastructure Requirements.
If later we find we need more links, faster links or different interconnect type, we can always add a NIC or Cisco VIC later. Note that vdisk partition alignment is affected only by not using the Cisco-provided OVA for initial install or reinstall of a VM. Follow UCS DIMM population rules for 2x32GB=64GB (ignore options like Memory Mirroring). Step 2 To mount the correct version of the VMware Tools software in the Guest virtual CD/DVD drive, perform the following sub-steps. If VMware tools status does not show "OK" from the viClient, the VMware Tools must be upgraded. Prior to ESXi 5.1, VM must be installed on shared storage (SAN) and source and destination physical servers must be connected to same SAN. E.g. I want to make sure your virtual deployment of Cisco UC on Nutanix is successful! If the UC app is listed as "Supported with Caveats", then support is as described below:
Redundant power supplies are recommended. Component & Capacity Point. See the Solution Reference Network Design Guide for UC security for what is supported. Any 3rd-party public cloud offers that dont use VMware technology (e.g. For latency/performance, rule of thumb would be 14 disks (1 HDD per physical CPU cores).
Always verify with server vendor if a hardware-vendor-specific ESXi image is required. NOTE: support varies by app and version. UCM 12.5 requires minimum vmv13, vs. older versions vmv8. via Distributed Resource Scheduler [DRS]), a few applications have caveated support (see here for details); otherwise it is not supported. E.g. See VMware vCenter Converter for what is supported. HQ site has high-profile users who require WAN survivability. Another alternative is manual Virtual Machine shutdown and migration. Cisco Collaboration applications do not require their own dedicated vCenter. While there is also a Large Form Factor spec sheet, those models are optimized for different use cases so will not be used in this example for Collaboration. Amazon Web Services [AWS], Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and others are not supported). 10.0 and later
Follow guidance from hardware provider. In ESXi 5.1+ vMotion allows "DAS to DAS", i.e. VMware Boot from SAN
destination server must align with supported co-residency after failover occurs). You can run the HyperFlex Sizer (partner-level access) to doublecheck if HX cluster will accommodate, then add more capacity disks as needed. If VSA is desired to be used as shared storage for a virtualized Cisco Collaboration deployment, it must meet the storage requirements for UC on UCS Specs-based or 3rd-party Server Specs-based (e.g. Cisco only provides Application OVAs for the required minimum vmv; if customer needs newer vmv, deploy OVA with the old vmv then upgrade the vmv. See VMware High Availability for what is supported. Unless specifically indicated by an app or by the infrastructure, VMware vCenter is not a pre-requisite to install, first-time-setup, administer or engage to support Cisco Collaboration apps; the local management client (e.g. Always verify with server vendor that the update is compatible with server model's bios/firmware/driver state. This feature effectively provides a method to do full system backup/restore, take system images or revert changes to software versions, user data and configuration changes. The following links can be used to determine if an individual Maintenance Release or patch "can" or "should" be deployed:
If the UC app is listed as "Partial" support, then support is "maintenance mode only" as described below:
I.e. vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA)
They are more sensitive to infrastructure issues like latency, ESXi scheduler VM swaps, interruptions/freezes, "IO blender", "noisy neighbor", etc. 1, 2 or 3
This feature provides an automated disaster recovery solution that works on a "site to site" basis, where a "site" comprises physical servers, VMware and SAN storage. For isolation of "complex" issues, if there is no evidence the application is the problem and/or the application logs point to VMware/hardware layer, then the application is ruled out and the problem will be deemed isolated to VMware/hardware layer. Supported Vendors, Products, Versions and Feature Editions, Unsupported Infrastructure / Virtualization Software, Purchasing / Sourcing Options for Required Virtualization Software, Supported Versions, Patches and Updates of VMware vSphere ESXi, ESXi Major/Minor Versions, Maintenance Versions and Patches/Updates, Supported Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client, VMware Feature Support for Unified Communications. You must follow any compatibility instructions from your hardware/software providers for the server model, network elements and storage system you are using.
For customers using vSphere Client instead of vCenter, it is NOT recommended to upgrade to a newer vmv. All hardware/software for collaboration must be redundant and split across sites. Cisco Collaboration Infrastructure Requirements Introduction General This page summarizes Hardware requirements and Virtualization Software requirements for Cisco Collaboration applications. See Business Edition 6000 or 7000 Installation Guide. 2
Note that when VMware vCenter is not required and is not used, then VMware vSphere ESXi's default management interface is its free/included VMware vSphere Client (formerly branded VI Client). For most Collaboration deployments, RAID5 has been the best tradeoff among competing factors of maximizing usable space, IO performance, fault tolerance, and ease of failed disk replacement while minimizing total storage system price and complexity. In ESXi 5.1+ vMotion allows "DAS to DAS", i.e. But deploying with sum of vcpu = sum of Logical Processors in ESXi or sum of vcpu(sum of physical CPU cores) is not supported unless specifically indicated by an application. Cisco-provided/required OVA files will be for the specific vmv version used when testing the ESXi major/minor version (e.g. 1, 2 or 3
destination server must align with supported co-residency after failover occurs). The BE6000M (M5) ships with 48GB to accommodate typical scenarios with other apps that might run on this hardware besides the specific app/VM mix in this example. From a technical perspective, CUCM 8.6 or higher is allowed on these platforms, but customers must verify that the desired CUCM version meets certification requirements (JITC, etc.). Cisco physical / virtual networking infrastructure is presumed transparent to Collaboration workloads. Not supported. VDP in vSphere ESXi 5.1 replaces "VDR" (vSphere Data Recovery / VMware Data Recovery) in prior ESXi releases: see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2016565. Use of Cisco Nexus 1000V is therefore strongly recommended as this is currently the only way to deterministically manage traffic congestion through the UCS 6x00. Caveated Support for VMware CPU Reservations and Distributed Resource Scheduler). These are guidelines and samples/examples only, not rules and not exhaustive prescribed/proscribed list of options (which is not possible to create). Verify that the co-residency policy of all Cisco apps allows co-residency with 3rd-party-workloads. For details on "legacy" virtualization support (i.e. If vMotion is suspected as the cause of dropped calls, customers should gather appropriate application logs as well as performance data from VMware vCenter and send to Cisco TAC for analysis. VMware Cloud on Dell EMC VxRail, Amazon AWS Outposts, Microsoft Azure Stack, GKE On-prem and others are not supported). For UC apps, an easier suggested alternative is to just perform manual VM shutdown and migration to the new SAN. Recall ESX and ESXi are architecture options for VMware vSphere releases prior to 5.0 (click here for a comparison). All these uses are supported for UC but note that UC apps like CUCM and UCCX only support a single vNIC with a single IP address. Softswitches
This feature automates patching and updating of VMware vSphere hosts and Guest OS. (Usually, the VMware Tools tar file is called linux.iso). Your customers requirements and design may differ from these examples. Assume Xeon 6132 which will support required applications' "large" capacity point (medium for Expressway) and VM configurations. See Resize Virtual Machine instead. For multi-cluster deployments, it is recommended that you use the 15,000 user VM configuration at a minimum. Cisco Collaboration apps do not require or even use most of the new features in new vmv versions (e.g. Migration of UC VMs that are live and processing live traffic is supported, but note that Cisco testing cannot cover every possible operational scenario. See vMotion for what is supported.Long Distance vMotion is a joint Cisco and VMware validated architecture for using the vMotion feature across data centers. "Maintenance mode only" - VMware vMotion by definition operates on live VMs, but the VM running the UC app must be "live but quiescent". See also VMware Data Recovery and Copy Virtual Machine. Otherwise same guidelines as for RAID5. Not supported. Hardware components, models and product IDs may have changed since the time of this writing. Applications' "large" capacity points ("medium" for Expressway) and VM configurations are supported by Business Edition 7000H (M5) appliances. Step 1 From the vSphere Client log in to vCenter, or your ESXi host, and go to the Hosts and Clusters view (Ctrl+Shift+H). Does not apply to ESXi version upgrades. Required VM count for software redundancy will fit on pair of blade servers. Single application cluster for UCM, IMP, CER, Expressway. 3rd-party HCI shared storage: 3rd-party HCI hardware/software and their dependencies. A Cisco Collaboration app will only specify a MAXIMUM maintenance release if there are known incompatibilitites. This allows VMs to be copied, then subsequently modified or shut down. Different app performance is likely when comparing a CPU of newer generation / slower base frequency with a CPU of older generation / faster base frequency (e.g. . See the documentation for the UC application software or UC appliance software to see what is supported. larger VMs, more virtual HW options, etc.). Your design/results may vary. See VMware vCenter Converter for what is supported.
Any 3rd-party public cloud offers based on non-VMware technology (e.g. Some virtualized UCS servers are configured with multiple physical NICs (see UCS page at http://www.cisco.com/go/swonly). Examples of the unsupported architectures are non-Xeon (Pentium, Celeron, etc. VMware Fault Tolerance
Used to preserve the state of a VM without copying or creating additional VMs, effectively as a backup/restore or reversion technique.
Cisco Collaboration apps do not require or even use most of the new features in new vmv versions (e.g. Virtual Appliance Packaging of UC apps
For more information, see http://blogs.cisco.com/datacenter/comments/cisco_and_vmware_validated_architecture_for_long_distance_vmotion/ and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/collateral/ns340/ns517/ns224/ns836/white_paper_c11-557822.pdf. Cisco MediaSense
Customers who wish to add additional vCPU and/or additional vRAM beyond this minimum to improve performance may do so, but note the following:
if you have more than 10,000 users in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must use the 5,000 user OVA template at a minimum, even if you plan to license less than 5,000 users of IM and . Refer to the VMware documentation for requirements to use this feature. Before reading the best practices below, verify support at Supported Editions and Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client. Below are some guidelines for Cisco UCS C-Series servers with HDD DAS.
Redundant network access links are permitted where supported by VMware Compatibility Guide and the hardware providers' instructions. Required usable space is ~1.5TB (more during change management or outage mitigation). VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple, Google Cloud VMware Solution by CloudSimple and others are not supported). 1
A redundant power supply may be selected.
Cisco Collaboration apps do not require or even use most of the new features in new vmv versions (e.g.
This feature automatically restarts a Virtual Machine (VM) on the same physical server or a different physical server. This example will use a minimum build of 3x SAS 1.2 TB. Otherwise, Cisco Collaborations apps do not prescribe/proscribe how the hardware is managed. Understanding of UCS technologies and Virtualization technologies; Responsible for upgradation of UC applications and end points like CUCM , CUC, IM&P , Jabber Clients etc. Mobile + remote access and desktop + mobile softclients for 100% of users (to support WFH / roaming). Embedded Host Client in ESXi 6.7) is sufficient. Trace collection is 100 IOPS (occurs on all VMs for which tracing is enabled). Not supported. Prior to ESXi 5.1, VM must be installed on shared storage (SAN) and source and destination physical servers must be connected to same SAN. For all other changes, it is recommended to backup the application, reinstall application on a new OVA file, and restore the application. Cisco recommendation is to apply the latest patches and updates recommended by VMware and your hardware vendor. These values are per active VM. This section will give a summary support position, but for individual components see Support for Virtualization on the ESXi/UCS Platform. Not supported. Plan for quad RAID5 volumes. Also always ensure a DRS backup of the Cisco Collaboration applications is available in case there are issues with the replicated VMs. Restart Virtual Machine on Different ESXi Host. BE7000M (M5) appliance uses Intel Xeon 6132 CPU (14C/2.6GHz). Before reading the best practices below, verify support at Supported Editions and Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client. 9.1 and higher will support these two-vdisk options: 2x80GB and 1x80GB+1x110GB (where auto-grow COP was used on second vdisk).
50% work from home + mobile roaming support. ESXi 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 5.5). 5.1 U1) if required by its guest OS or for hardware compatibility. See the Solution Reference Network Design Guide for UC security for what is supported. See vMotion for what is supported. 93-98% of total IO is "sequential writes" with an IO block size of 4 kilobytes. 2 or 3
Where supported, this provides the VM equivalent of migration to a more powerful or less powerful server. A check will now be performed each time the VM powers on to determine if the tools need to be updated. License Comparison- Shipping
To translate to hardware BOM, use QuoteCollab's tallied required hardware specs with the. VM can be installed on DAS and source/destination physical servers can have different DAS yet still vMotion the VM. Before reading the best practices below, verify support at Supported Editions and Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client. Does not protect vs. faults with the SAN or network hardware. All these uses are supported for UC but note that UC apps like CUCM and UCCX only support a single vNIC with a single IP address. So we will align with BE7000H (M5) and instead spec 192 GB. Prior to copying, the VM must first be shutdown (which will shut down the virtual server, the UC OS and the UC application). May only be done during a maintenance window with UC VMs shut down. Not supported. The administrators could easily install on top, other applications, server roles etc., which made the Call Manager unstable and of course increasing support requests to Cisco. Basic understanding of CUCM , IM&P & Cisco unity connection version (N-1). If the UC app is listed as "Partial" support, then support is "maintenance mode only" as described below:
Note that vDisk partition alignment is affected only by not using the Cisco proved OVA for initial install or reinstall of a VM. NOTE: support varies by app and version. Step 3 The process will take a few minutes. Step 1 From the viClient, Initiate the tools upgrade by clicking on VM > Guest > Install / Upgrade VMware Tools (this can also be done by right-clicking on the VM). VMware Cloud on Dell EMC VxRail, Amazon AWS Outposts, Microsoft Azure Stack, GKE On-prem and others are not supported). Before reading the best practices below, verify support at Supported Editions and Features of VMware vSphere ESXi, VMware vCenter and VMware vSphere Client. If ESXi 6.5, all applications support VMFS5 but only some support VMFS6 (check each application's virtualization page for details). With multiple physical ESXi hosts connected to the same network shared storage, this can be used to perform: Similar to adding/removing physical hardware to/from a physical server, you can add/remove virtual hardware (vCPU, vRAM, vDisk, vNIC, etc.) Not supported. "DAVG/cmd" (Device Average Latency per command) - an indicator of disk subsystem performance.
In the popup window choose Interactive Tools Upgrade. For latency/performance, rule of thumb would be 24 disks (ideally 1 HDD per physical CPU cores). Existing UC app methods of backing up the software continue to be supported. Multiple Physical NICs and vNICs
Cisco recommendation is to apply the latest patches and updates recommended by VMware and your hardware vendor. Installed base version upgrades until end of support. I.e. If the server is Cisco UCS, you may need to use a UCS-specific image for U3 on vmware.com. Refer to the VMware documentation for requirements to use this feature.
