Supported features
vMotion has been tested and VCS correctly moves; however there may be glitches (packet loss/jitter) in
media for calls that are interworked by VCS as the VM is moved. We recommend that a vMotion move is
carried out when there is low call activity on the VM VCS.

speed.
Unsupported features
VMware fault tolerant mode is not supported (because the VCS uses dual cores).
Licensing
VCS VMs require licensing in the same way that the appliance VCS units require licensing.
A VM VCS will be deemed to be a different VCS if it is moved and gets a new serial number. The VM VCS is
designed to allow different hardware platforms to be used to get VCS functionality, not to support copy to a
new platform.
