[cisco-voip] C220M3 16 GB Cisco Flexible Flash Card

That's because the 220 M3 you are looking at is the SFF, and that note is pointing out the LFF version of the same server is not in the TRC.

Well I guess I miss-read, or I think the doc has been refined since I looked at it last.

I was building a config for a c220M3, and I saw this note:

“The C220 M3L (LFF) is only supported under UC on UCS Specs-based.”  I don’t recall the LFF denotation there before.

It seemed last time I looked a lot of the TRCs are only supported as spec based anyways.

Can you elaborate on this?  The UC TRCs are supported as such.  Specs-based is when you have to deviate from the TRC for whatever reason.

There's a new technote out that covers these and the support implications in more detail.  It's worth a read if you haven't seen it yet.

So if the normal use is to install and run vmware on the flash, go for it.

…From what I can tell, spec based really just means you need vCenter too, and you have to make sure your disk supports the load.

I had the same query last month. It seems that the only recommendation I could find was to use the VM partition for storing a copy of the ESXi install media for system recovery scenarios

None of the TRCs make use of it, though there's no reason you can't find something to do with it.

Is there any best practice in regard to using the Cisco Flexible Flash Card on the M3?

Kind of cool. But is it supported for UC on UCS, etc?  I haven’t used one yet.
