DEDICATED CPS-MSP-1RU-K9 TO RUN VSOM?

[Matt Conley]

I have 4 CPS-MSP-2RU-K9's that were part of the BoQ. Would I be better off gettig a 1RU, configuring RAID and using that to run VSOM and using the 2RU's as Media Servers?   From researching, it seems like this might be the way to go.

I have run it in both a co-located and a dedicated VSOM. Both options work fine. The one advantage to running a standalone VSOM is a co-located VSOM cannot participate in any HA options (redundant, failover, etc).

We have a two CPS-MSP-2RU-K9  Servers with VSOM + VSMS  in  both the Servers.

That is  ( VSOM+VSMS) in Server-1  and again  (VSOM+VSMS) in Server-2   .

Can i have Redundancy for VSMS and also for VSOM by this Method ?

Does VSOM in one Server-1 can have Control over VSMS in Server-2 ? Is this a Recommended Design ?

Beginning with VSM7, there are multiple styles of VSMS (media server) redundancy available, depending on the IP Camera matrix you intend to deploy.

There is currently nothing for *native* VSOM redundancy, aside from using VMWare High Availability when deploying VSM OVAs on Cisco UCS platform only.

There is much more that goes into a successful design and deployment than the information you have provided here.  My personal recommendation is to leverage your local Cisco ATP partner, or, at a minimum, engage the Cisco PDI Helpdesk (http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/tools/pdihd.html)

Cheers, and best of luck,
