CUPS on 3rd party Specs Based server

[on-call engineers]

Hi,

Is vCenter mandatory when running CUPS (8.6) on 3rd party Specs Based server? The server isnt running any other UC apps.

Thanks

I wouldnt have thought so too but see below. Am I misreading?

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMWare_Requirements > See mandatory requirements

party Server Specs-based

Both of the following: Customer-provided VMware vCenter (direct from vmware.com) Customer-provided VMware vSphere ESXi (direct from vmware.com, including enterprise license)

VMware vCenter is

• optional when deploying on UC on UCS Tested Reference Configuration hardware
  
• mandatory when deploying on UC on UCS Specs-based and Third-party Server Specs-based hardware.
  

• vCenter Statistics Level 4 logging is mandatory so that Cisco TAC is able to provide effective support.
  
• Click here for how to configure VMware vCenter to capture these logs. If not configured by default, Cisco TAC may request enabling these settings in order to provide effective support.
  
• Also note that enablement of specific VMware vSphere management features may require vCenter and/or a higher feature Edition of vSphere ESXi.

It's mandatory whenever you use 3rd party spec based, you would need to install it for your deployment.
