Provisioning Overview
One of the Cisco Prime Collaboration products, Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning is a business-process-
oriented provisioning tool that uses management domains, rules, and policy to control provisioning of user services
and network infrastructure.
Provisioning is done by ordering services or ordering service changes rather than by modifying individual attributes
on individual applications. Change to the infrastructure or user services is done by submitting an order. All orders
are tracked to provide an audit trail. Orders can be submitted through the provisioning GUIs or through templates,
batch files, and application programming interfaces (APIs).
Provisioning is user- and infrastructure-oriented. Every order is placed against a user ID or the infrastructure ID.
Services are provisioned for users; for example, adding a phone line and voicemail.
Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning is designed to support Cisco products only. Third-party call devices are not
supported. Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning does not use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for
provisioning. It uses Cisco Administrative XML Layer (AXL), Structured Query Language (SQL) calls, and Telnet or
Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol-style communications depending on the device type being provisioned.
Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning supports a large number of Cisco Unified Communications elements
including Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME), Cisco
Unity
®
Unified Messaging, Cisco Unity Express, Cisco IOS
®
Software devices, and Cisco Unity Connection.
Installation
The Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and Analytics and Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Open
Virtualization Archive (OVA) files must be installed on separate virtual machines if you are installing both. For Cisco
Prime Collaboration Provisioning, if you have more than 10,000 phones you need to install the application and
database on separate virtual machines. You can use the same provisioning OVA to install both. The options are
given at install time to install application, database, or both. You can choose what you want to install depending on
the number of phones you plan to manage.
Prerequisites
You can install Cisco Prime Collaboration as a VMware virtual appliance only (as an OVA) file that you can import
into your VMware Virtual Infrastructure. Cisco Prime Collaboration runs on any VMware-certified hardware with
ESXi 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1 installed. Large and very large deployments require ESXi 5.0 or later.
