Virtualizing Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager on VMware vSphere
Requirements
●
VMware ESX requirements should be met.
●
Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager
should be installed.
●
Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager virtual machine configuration properties must match or exceed a
virtual machine template. (See the “
Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager Virtual Machine Templates
”
section.)
●
Disk size and I/O performance should meet or exceed the required level.
●
The Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager virtual machine must have VMware Tools installed. (See
“
Installing VMware Tools
” on the VMware website.)
●
The Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager 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 Provisioning Manager Virtual Machine Templates
Scalability for Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager 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 Provisioning Manager virtual machine must match
a supported virtual machine template defined in Table 6. The supported UPM OVA templates are listed in Table 7.

For large template use, the distributed deployment, Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager application, and database server
are deployed on different virtual machines. It is preferable to deploy the Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager application
and database server on the same physical server (ESX).
and database server on the same physical server (ESX).

vDisk1 is 30 GB for the Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager application, and it is 80/120 GB for the database server.
***
IOPS are for each Communications Manager publisher synchronized in parallel. If there is only one Communications Manager
publisher, then IOPS are 100/500. The maximum figures would be expected during nightly Infrastructure or subscriber syncs.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager throttles traffic between itself and Unified Provisioning Manager to preserve
Communications Manager call processing performance.
