Cisco Prime Home Database Servers (Virtual Machine)
Cisco Prime Home database servers running in VMs are not recommended but are achievable. It should be noted
that RAM, processor, and I/O requirements far exceed that of hardware deployments. Network Attached Storage
(NAS) or SAN enclosures utilizing iSCSI are not feasible and will negate the option to deploy Cisco Prime Home
database servers in VMs. Virtualized database servers must have direct access to attached SAN storage that
meets our minimum storage requirements, not virtualized, iSCSI, or NAS storage.
