Notes on UCS Tested Reference Configuration and Specs-based Support

(top)

Cisco announces end of sale and end of life for:

When the hardware support is specified as "Yes (See details)", the following exceptions exist, as applicable to the TRC or Specs-based policy referenced:

For Hyperflex TRCs (M4 or HX220c M5SX), Packaged CCE 11.6 only provides spec-based support. For more details, see the Virtual Machines Resource Provisioning Policy section in the Solution Design Guide for Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise.

Co-residency Support Policy

(top)

Packaged CCE adheres to the following Co-residency policies by version:

 
Version Co-residency Policy
12.x Limited
11.x Limited


Oversubscription Support

(top)

For more information on Packaged CCE oversubscription support policy for 12.x, see the Virtual Machines Resource Provisioning Policy section in the Solution Design Guide for Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise.


Notes on Megahertz (MHz) Sizing

(top)

For more information on how to use the MHz information specified in this document, see the Virtual Machines Resource Provisioning Policy section in the Solution Design Guide for Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise.


IOPS and Storage System Performance Requirements

(t(top)

Packaged CCE follows UC storage system design requirements. For more information, see UC Virtualization Storage System Design Requirements.

For information about TRC versus specs-based support for storage systems, see UC Virtualization Supported Hardware.

All Packaged CCE VM vDisks must be deployed Thick Provisioned, Lazy, or Eager Zeroed. Thin Provisioned vDisks are not supported.

For IOPS information about CUIC, see the CUIC IOPS information.

Storage Area Networks and Specs-based policy storage solutions must be able to handle the following Packaged CCE application disk I/O characteristics. Tested Reference Configurations (TRC) for Cisco UCS C-Series servers do not need to apply these requirements against their Direct Attached Storage Arrays (DAS).
