Appendix

Release 9.0 Base Configuration Updates

This topic lists base configuration file updates subsequent to the initial base configuration of Release 9.0(1). If you have an older base configuration, you need to apply the missing configuration items manually before upgrading to a later version. For example, if you upgrade from Release 9.0(1) to Release 9.0(4), you need to manually update the Release 9.0(2) and Release 9.0(3) base configuration changes. To update manually, change deployment type from Packaged CCE so that you can access the appropriate Configuration Manager tools.

Note

Installing the latest base configuration will delete existing configuration information.

Release 9.0(2) Base Configuration Changes

Expanded Call Variables--- Delete these two ECC variables and re-add them with the following parameter changes:

Name = user.microapp.ToExtVXML

Network Configuration and QoS

Your Wide Area Network must support QoS. For details, refer to the Bandwidth Provisioning and QoS considerations section in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/custcosw/ps1844/products_implementation_design_guides_list.html.

Simple Network Management Protocol

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the exchange of management information among network devices so that administrators can manage network performance and solve network problems. SNMP community strings, users, and network destinations are configured in Cisco Unified Serviceability.

Unified Serviceability is one of the tools that open from the Navigation drop-down in Cisco Unified Communications Solutions tools. You can also access Unified Serviceability by entering http://x.x.x.x/ccmservice/, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the publisher.

Community Strings

The SNMP agent uses community strings to provide security. You must configure community strings to access any management information base (MIB). Add new community strings in the Cisco Serviceability Administration interface.

A community string is configured with:

a server
a name of up to 32 characters
a setting to accept SNMP packets from any host or from specified hosts
access privileges (readonly, readwrite, readwritenotify, notifyonly, readnotifyonly, and none)
a setting to apply the community string to all nodes in the cluster

Notification Destinations

Add notification destinations for delivery of SNMP notification events when events occur. Add and maintain notification destinations in the Cisco Serviceability Administration interface.

A notification destination is configured with:

a server
the host IP addresses of the trap destination
a port number
the SNMP version (V1 or V2c)
the community string name to be used in the notification messages that the host generates
the notification type
a setting to apply to the notification destination configuration to all nodes in the cluster

Virtualization for Packaged CCE

VMware Feature Support

The list below designates which VMware features can be supported by Packaged CCE while in production under load due to the known or unpredictable behavior they may have on the applications. Many of the VMware features that cannot be supported in production can be used within a customer's planned maintenance downtime, where any interruption will not impact business operations. Some unsupported features will by their function cause violation of the Packaged CCE validation rules.

ESXi Counters

The ESXi server and virtual machines must operated within the limits of these key ESXi performance counters:

Category	Object	Measurement	Units	Description	Performance Indication and Threshold
Disk	ESXi Server vmhba ID VM vmhba ID	Disk Command Aborts	Number	Number of disk commands aborted on this disk in the period. Disk command aborts when the disk array is taking too long to respond to the command. (Command timeout)	This counter should be zero. A non-zero value indicates storage performance issue.
Disk	ESXi Server vmhba ID VM vmhba ID	Disk Command Latency	mSec	The average amount of time taken for a command from the perspective of a Guest OS. Disk Command Latency = Kernel Command Latency + Physical Device Command Latency.	24ms latencies or greater indicates a possible over-utilized, misbehaving, or mis-configured disk array.
Disk	ESXi Server vmhba ID VM vmhba ID	Kernel Disk Command Latency	mSec	The average time spent in ESXi Server VMKernel per command	Kernel Command Latency should be very small in comparison to the Physical Device Command Latency, and it should be close to zero. Kernel Command Latency can be high, or even higher than the Physical Device Command Latency if there is a lot of queuing in the ESXi kernel.
