[cisco-voip] UC on UCS

[Matthew Loraditch]

The docwiki is described as authoritative by the various partner resources who participate in our partner online community.
I also recommend looking at the new sizing tool: http://tools.cisco.com/ucs/

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

Scott
