[cisco-voip] C240M3 16 drives for CUCM/UCCE

Thu Sep 4 19:47:14 EDT 2014

C240M3  TRC setup
8 drives raid 5 group 1
8 drives raid 5 group 2

Seems like an odd setup to have the hypervisor running on a Raid 5 array.

Do you install Virtual Machines to both Raid5 arrays, or just ESXi on one and the VMs on the other?

Customer asked me why Cisco would have ESXi  installed on a 1.93TB raid 5 array vs having two drives in Raid 1 mirror.  I told them I would ask around.
