About this Guide
This preface describes the VPC-DI System Administration Guide, how it is organized and its document conventions.
Cisco Virtualized Packet Core Distributed Instance (VPC-DI) consists of a fully distributed network of multiple virtual machines (VMs) grouped to form a single StarOS instance with VMs performing management, input/output (I/O), and packet processing. The VMs run on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. This guide describes how to configure and administer the various components of the VPC-DI.
