[cisco-voip] UC on UCS

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I think you'll find the proverbial, "it depends" is the answer. 

The wiki doc starts here: 

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Sizing_Guidelines#General_Rules_for_Co-residency_and_Physical.2FVirtual_Hardware_Sizing 

You'll have to get your apps lined up and see which ones have what rules. 

But I have a feeling, that this doc wiki, as updated as it may be, sometimes is not "authoritative". I had an interesting discussion with my SE as far as how many VMs I could run on one UCS chassis. I read the doc, came up with a plan, and word came back, both from the SE and from his support team that my design was over provisioned. I'm pushing back, asking them why if all I did was read the documentation and sized it accordingly. Never got a good explanation as to why the conflict. 

Good luck.

Can someone point me to the correct documentation that says that either I CAN or I CAN'T run other 3rd party apps on the same blade as my UC stuff? 


I've had conflicting reports but have no solid information on the support of this configuration. 


One report I got said I could if I was using Nexus 1000v to support QoS. 


Yet others have been it's not supported due to CPU and Ram concerns. 


ultimately I want a TAC supported system, but need to factor in cost. 


TIA
