Note:
The MAC must be within the allowed VMware MAC address range: 00:50:56:00:00:00 to
00:50:56:3F:FF:FF. The Cisco license is issued only to the static MAC address on the virtual machine.
Virtualizing Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor on VMware vSphere
Requirements
●
VMware ESX and ESXi requirements should be met.
●
Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor
should be installed.
●
Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor virtual machine configuration properties must match or exceed a
virtual machine template. (See the “
Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor Virtual Machine Templates
”
section.)
●
Disk size and I/O performance should meet or exceed the required level.
●
The Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor virtual machine must have VMware Tools installed. (See
“
Installing VMware Tools
” on the VMware website.)
●
The Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor virtual machine clock (time) must be reliably kept in sync with true
time. (See “
Timekeeping Basics
” from Timekeeping in VMware Virtual Machines.)
Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor Virtual Machine Templates
Scalability for Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor on VMware ESX can be predicted by adhering to the hardware
requirements and virtual configuration parameters in the following virtual machine templates.
A virtual machine template defines the virtual machine configuration, which includes CPU, memory, disk, and
network resources. The configuration of a Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor virtual machine must match a
supported virtual machine template defined in this section. The size of the template is defined based on the
number of IP phones, call detail records (CDRs), and Cisco 1040 Sensor or Network Analysis Module (NAM) RTP
streams per minute monitored by each Cisco Prime Unified Service Monitor instance. The configuration of a Cisco
Prime Unified Service Monitor virtual machine must match a supported virtual machine template defined in Table
3. The supported USM OVA templates are listed in Table 4.
Note:
These templates for CUSM have to be created by customer and the resources required for each
deployment is given below.
