New UC Deployment Building Blocks
Thinking outside the (MCS) Box
  Deployments have been based on single
   application MCS servers
  Virtualization allows multiple Virtual
   Machines to access common HW resources
  Solution capacity and deployment models
   do not change
  Building blocks change from physical
   ‘servers’ with CPU/MEM/HDD to VMs
  The number of required ‘servers’ remains
   the same, but the HW will vary

Virtual Machine Specification

 Number of VMs typically the same as physical MCS’s
 But Virtual Machines are measured by:
     -vCPU
     -vRAM
     -vDisk
     -vNICs

 A VM solution can be deployed on any “supported”
  hardware mix that meets the specified resource
 Multiple VMs on same physical HW

UC Deployment Model (Application)
 All UC Deployment Models are supported
   No change in the current deployment models
   Base deployment model – Single Site, Centralized Call Processing,
   etc. are not changing
 NO software checks for design rules
   No rules or restrictions are in place in UC Apps to check if you are
   running the primary and sub on the same blade
 Clustering over WAN (COW)
 Mega-Cluster
 Mixed/Hybrid Cluster
 vBlock

High Availability Design Rules

 Current Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery strategies are still
  applicable
 The UC apps redundancy rules are same
 Distribute UC application nodes across UCS blades, chassis and sites to
  minimize failure impact
     Primary/secondary on different blade, chassis, sites
     On same blade, mix Subs with TFTP/MoH vs. just Subs




 Redundancy of UCS components (blade, chassis, FEX links, Interconnect
  switching)
 Redundancy of “new” network types (10GbE, SAN multi-pathing, etc.)

Virtual Machine Sizing and Placement

Virtual Machine Sizing
 Virtual Machine characteristics store in OVA
      An OVF package consists of several files, placed in one directory
      A one-file alternative is the OVA package

 Each products has one or more defined OVAs
 OVA defines:
      -vCPU, vRAM, vDisk, vNICs, OS Type
      -Network and Storage traffic profiles

 OVA naming scheme:
      -Includes product, user count and revision
        CUCM_7500_user_v1.0_vmv7.ova
        CUC_5000_user_v1.0_vmv7.ova

 Cisco UC OVAs include partition alignment

UCS Server Selection




Presentation_ID   © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Confidential   36
Server design considerations
Which UCS servers should be deployed?
 Does the customer already have Data Center w/ SAN?
   -ROI realized much earlier
   -SAN/DataCenter knowledge simplifies deployment

 Is UC a driver for implementing SAN?
   -SAN/DataCenter knowledge key to successful deployment
   -Much lower ROI due to SAN costs

 UCS chassis management
   -B Series Chassis have centralized management via UCS
   Manager
   -C Series are managed individually via CIMC

• UC sig. traffic is given lossless behavior
• Default CoS value of 3 for FCoE traffic should never be
  changed                                                                                              CAT6K



Without N1Kv:
• UC blades Network Adapters  QoS policy set to Platinum (CoS=5;
  No Drop)
• Non-UC blades Network Adapters  QoS policy set to best effort
Caveat:
• All traffic types from virtual UC App will get CoS value of Platinum
• Non-UC application gets best-effort class  might not be acceptable

Managing Virtual UC Application (B & C Series)

At login to the CLI and GUI, the VM
configuration is displayed




Virtual UC Apps are NOT aware of the
type of hardware being used (servers)
nor the type of storage.



No VM BIOS management
No hardware management and monitoring


New iostat information is added to
RTMT and logged (perfomon
counters) to help debug Disk I/O
related issues on the SAN
