[cisco-voip] Configuration ESXi on UCS

[Nicholas Samios]

And one final thing – need to make sure VMWare tools are updated in-line with ESXi version

I’ve spun up 8.6(2a) with ESXi v5 so get the use the easy methods - 3 or 4.

Cheers,
Nick

One other gotcha - We use pair 6509s with VSS teaming so needed update vSwitch to accommodate

I’ve just configured a pair C210 – main things in ESXi you need to do are disable LRO and align datastore partitions by essentially deleting and re-adding the stores in ESXi

Long as you use the OVA templates no need to worry about VM specs

I also took the liberty of updating the boot order (demoting NICs an disabling PXE boot)

Hello Group

is there a document available that describes all the settings for ESXi that UC works without problem on UCS.
One thing that I found is disable LRO on UCS.
Are there other settings???

Thanks for help
Reto
