UC on UCS

[Rafael Jimenez]

I want to know if its possible install the following VMs using only one UCS C-Series:

1 - The CUCM publisher.

2 - The CUCM Subscriber.

3 - The Cisco Unity (for exchange) Server.

4 - The Cisco Unified Presense Sever.

if not, which VMs can I install in one UCS and which VM on an aditional UCS?

Thanks

Thanks Java,

but my main concern is how many UC applications (presence,unity, ccx) can I install simultaneosly in one C-Series server (with ESXi).

Is there a limitation about the number of Call Managers (pub and sub) and UC all three applications (presence, unity and ccx)  in the same C-series chassis?.

Such is explained in the link I already provided.

Let me check the documentation..  the key word is "simultaneously".  I have not seen this word yet.

Thanks.

That's already implied, otherwise what would be the purpose of providing a link on how to size a server/apps if you're only going to install apps but not turn them on????

Up to 4 UC applications on single C series server are supported currently, as long as you do not oversubscribe on the resources, i.e. CPU, RAM and storage. Keep in mind that for UCON you need another spare CPU.  But all of this is explained in the link Java provided, it's just kind of hard to find it all there as it's not well organized.

Also, putting everything on single chassis is not a good solution as it provides no hardware redundancy so I would never recommend this approach.

HTH,

Hi

Just to add.

I believe Up to 4 UC application limit is only for UCS C200 M2 and for other UCS C series below is the requirement

For UCS B200 and C210 TRCs, you may otherwise mix and match  applications/versions and VM OVAs (of any size) in any quantity as long  as you do not oversubscribe any physical server resources.
