    UC on UCS

    UC Deployment Models, Sizing


    and Placement
    UC Deployment Models
    •  Same 8.6/9.0 models found in SRND
    –  Single-Site, Multi-Site, CoW, MegaCluster
    –  Same redundancy still required with Subscribers
    •  Hybrid Clusters are supported
    –  Nodes on both VM on UCS and Bare-Metal on MCS
    •  MoH from Fixed Source / USB
    –  Can run on MCS/Bare Metal
    –  Better option is to choose Multicast MoH and source traffic
    from IOS router with E&M module bringing in live feed and
    creating the multicast stream from it (think LMR)

    VMware HA Deployment Models
    •  HA – Supported
    –  ESXi host falls over, VMs on shared datastore are brought up on another free ESXi host
    –  Takes time/slow, but works – UC Cluster will continue to absorb station registrations and call processing while Subscribers
    come back up
    •  FT – Not Supported
    –  FT is where vLockStep technology keeps two VMs running on two ESXi hosts, and fails to standby when primary falls over
    –  FT only works with single vCPU VMs – UC all need 2 vCPUs min
    •  DRS – Not Supported
    –  Oversubscription/Shared resources
    •  SRM – Supported
    –  Allows complete replication to another site
    –  SAN mirroring
    •  Cloning is supported for some UC apps, but requires shutdown of VM
    –  Requires much more storage than Cisco DRS but also much faster to restore
    –  Still always schedule regular DRS Backups
    •  vMotion – Quasi Support
    –  Supported for live UCM and UCCX
    •  Cisco not responsible for a dropped call during quick vMotion
    –  Partial support for UCxn and CUPS
    •  Must put UC app into maintenance mode, then vMotion, then continue

    Sizing
    •  Used to be based on MCS physical server
    •  Now based on how many vResources you throw at UC node
    –  vCPU, vMem, vHDD, vNIC, vHBA
    •  Use the OVA templates for sizing
    –  OVF = Open Virtual Format
    –  OVA = Open Virtual Archive
    •  OVA is a tarball of an OVF file, a VMX file and a VMDK file(s)
    •  Does not actually contain the data on the disk, just the base disk geometry
    •  Cisco Sizing Tool: http://tools.cisco.com/cucst
    •  Again – Cisco UC DocWiki

    UC VM Placement
    •  DO NOT OVERSUBSCRIBE ANY RESOURCES
    –  Not TAC supported if you do
    •  CPU – Hyperthreading does not count as a
    vCPU – Cores only
    –  UCxn requires a physical core per blade for ESXi
    •  Memory – again, no oversubscription and must
    have 2GB extra for ESXi
    •  Storage – no Thin Disks, all must be Thick – full
    size disks

    UC VM Co-Residency
    •  Full co-residency support after 8.6(2) (8.0 - 8.5 was UC w/
    UC only)
    –  UCM next to UCCX next to CUPS next to Win2k8 FS
    •  Recommended not to run mission-critical VM apps next to
    UC VM apps
    –  Go to TAC with problem, they may ask you to shut down some
    VMs on host to test
    •  3rd Party VMs may not impose on oversubscription with
    UC VMs
    •  Still distribute across pCPUs, ESXi hosts, Chassis if
    possible
