Table 2 Required Minimum Specifications by Deployment Size
For all deployment sizes, you need:
■
VM host operational and running ESXi 5.0 (Update 1), ESXi 5.1, ESXi 5.5, or ESXi 6.0
Note:
As of X8.7, the virtual hardware version of Cisco VCS has changed from 7 to 8. This change means that
ESX/ ESXi version 4.x is explicitly not supported as a platform for Cisco VCS VMs running X8.7.
■
vCenter or vSphere client operational
■
Reserved RAM, CPU, and NIC as per table above
When using vSphere client, configure the network properties through the console.
Co-residency Support
The VCS can co-reside with applications (any other VMs occupying same host) subject to the following conditions:
■
no oversubscription of CPU: 1:1 allocation of vCPU to physical cores must be used
■
no oversubscription of RAM: 1:1 allocation of vRAM to physical memory
■
no oversubscription of NIC: The VCS handles large volumes of data, much of which is for real-time
communications, and it needs dedicated access to all the bandwidth specified for its interfaces.
communications, and it needs dedicated access to all the bandwidth specified for its interfaces.
For example, you should not assume that four co-resident small Cisco VCS VMs can handle the expected load
if there is only a 1 Gbps physical interface on the host. In this example, none of the VMs meet the required
minimum specification.

Note:
The CPU reservation requirement excludes provision for the host's hypervisor. You should specify your host
CPU resources to accommodate the hypervisor and still be able to dedicate the CPU reservation requirement to all
co-resident VCS VMs.
co-resident VCS VMs.
Installation Process
This process guides you through installing the VCS VM using vCenter or vSphere client.
Configuring the VM Host
Ensure that the VM host is configured with a valid NTP server – the same NTP server that will be specified in VCS.
1.
Select the host.
2.
Go to the Configuration tab.
3.
Select Time configuration.
4.
Select Properties.
If the date and time were red on the previous page, set the date and time manually to the current time.
5.
Click Options.
6.
Select NTP Settings.
