333 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID 8.6(2) OVAs Overview 8.6(2) OVAs provide spec based requirements to configure CUC VM on servers in existing virtualization infrastructure eliminating the need to shift to UCS The preconfigured OVA provided by Cisco ensures that virtual hardware meets minimum requirements for CUC during install phase CPU and Memory reservations have been introduced in the virtual machine template(OVA) to achieve the same

444 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID 8.6(2) OVAs Overview Server CPU needs to be an E5500, E5600, E7500 series Intel processor Supported server vendors are Cisco, HP and IBM One vCPU on the server shall be left un-provisioned for VMware ESXi scheduler use VMware ESXi 4.0 and 4.1 are supported

Presentation_ID Users# vCPUCPU Reservation(GHz) Memory Reservation(GB) Disk options (GB) Up to 10001vCPU Up to 50002vCPU Up to 10,0004vCPU x 146, 2 x 300, 2 x 500 Up to 20,0007vCPU x 300, 2 x 500 OVA Specifications  Above table lists the specifications for different Virtual Platform Overlays of Unity Connection  All the above virtual platform overlays are bundled as a single OVA which when deployed in vSphere gives the option to choose one of the above overlay

6 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Session Number Presentation_ID Deploy OVA for CUC fresh install

777 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Deploying CUC OVA From the File Menu in vSphere Client, choose ‘Deploy OVF Template…’.  Now browse to the folder containing downloaded CUC OVA.  Select the OVA and click Next.

888 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Deploying CUC OVA Click Next on “OVF Template Details” screen  Provide a Name to VM and select a `DataCenter’ to deploy the OVA.

999 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Deploying CUC OVA In Deployment Configuration, configuration drop down list select the OVA configuration that you want to install For OVA configuration option selected above, a summary, e.g. number of max users supported, vCPU, RAM, vDisk is displayed. Click Next

10 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Deploying CUC OVA In Datastore, select the data store, where the HDD of VM needs to be provisioned.  Select DataCenter -> Host on which the VM should be deployed, click Next.

11 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Deploying CUC OVA  Choose Thick provisioned format, in Disk format and click Next  In the next section, re-verify your VM configuration and click Finish  You’ll be presented with a Progress bar. On completion, click Close  Progress can also be monitored in Recent Task Pane in vSphere Client

12 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Deploying CUC OVA You can optionally verify the CPU reservation, and memory reservation from Resource Allocation Tab in vSphere Client After Verification, the newly created VM is ready for CUC installation

13 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Session Number Presentation_ID Upgrade from CUC 8.x to CUC OVAs

14 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Upgrading to OVA CUC OVAs are different from OVAs for prior releases in terms of additional memory and CPU reservations in Upgrading the existing CUC 8.x Virtual Machine to CUC Virtual Machine is a manual process and is described in the next few slides

15 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID  To upgrade the VM configurations to 8.6.2, VM needs to be powered off  Right click the VM in vSphere client, Select Power>Power off option Upgrading to OVA

16 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID  Once the VM is powered off, proceed to edit the VM settings  Right click the VM in vSphere client, Select Edit Settings Upgrading to OVA

17 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID  To be followed only if the existing version is lower than  In the newly opened Properties window, under the options tab > General Options, choose Guest Operating System as Linux.  In the Version drop down list, select Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit) Upgrading to OVA

18 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID  In the newly opened Properties window, under the Hardware tab, choose the Memory size as per the OVA specifications table(slide 5)  In Resources tab, Select Memory from the left pane. Go to Reservation field in the right pane. Use the slider or the text box to make the Memory reservations as per the OVA specification table(slide 5) Upgrading to OVA

19 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID  Next, choose the number of virtual Processors as per the OVA specifications table(slide 5) in Hardware tab and move to Resources tab  Select CPU from the list in the left pane in Resources tab. Go to Reservation field in the right pane. Use the slider or the text box to make the CPU cycles reservations as per the OVA specifications table(slide 5)  Click ok on the window and power on the virtual machine  VM has been upgraded as per the OVA. You can now proceed with CUC upgrade Upgrading to OVA

20 © 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID Troubleshooting tips  In order to ensure the proper deployment of OVA CUC 8.6.2, we need to verify the vCPU count, CPU and memory reservations and hard disk size allocated and disk alignment.  There is no such way to check if the VM is deployed from an OVA or its manually configured.  Disk aligned at 64K are still supported, One can use the linux “fdisk -lu” command from root or remote account and observe the output to see if the partitions are aligned or not. Aligned partitions starts at 128, and for any value other than 128, partitions are not aligned. Sample output: fdisk -lu Disk /dev/sda: GB, bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, cylinders, total sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * Linuxxxx /dev/sda Linux /dev/sda Linux /dev/sda Extended /dev/sda Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda Linux
