[cisco-voip] C200 co-residency

I see...

Note that the tested reference configuration for UCS C200 M2 is sized for co-residency at a lower capacity per VM than UCS B200 or C210 so only supports a subset of Virtual Machine templates.


For UCS C200, you must align with these rules:
    * The only supported virtual machine OVA templates are:
    * CUCM - Unified Communications Manager 1000 users
    * CER - Emergency Responder 12,000 users
    * CUC or UCxn - Unity Connection 500 users, 1000 users and 5000 users
    * CUP - Unified Presence 1000 users
    * CUCCX - Unified Contact Center Express 100 agents
    * Other unlisted OVA templates are not supported on C200 as they are sized too big.
    * If C200 is used for Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 6000 then you must follow its co-residency rules.
    * Otherwise at this time the following co-residency scenarios are supported:
    * Four VMs: CUCM 1000 users + CUC 1000 users + CUP 1000 users + CUCCX 100 users (the scenario used by Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 6000 )
    * Up to four VMs: 1 to 4 CUC of various user sizes provided you don't over-subscribe any physical server resources as described previously.
    * Four VMs: 4 CUP 1000 users
    * Four VMs: 4 CUCM 1000 users
    * Three VMs: 3 CUCCX 100 users
    * Also, any CUCM VM may be substituted with a CER 12,000 user VM in the above scenarios.


Which leaves this prescient question:

Are we good to just mix and match any of those OVAs on one C200 so long as we're not oversubscribing resources or is it ONLY the co-residency scenarios listed that are supported? E.g., cucm 1k users + cuc 5k users on one box?

What's the official word? The wording of this documentation is a little bit vague and could use a little clarification. . .

Has anybody else deployed C200s with a mix/match of those OVAs?

Cheers
