Prerequisites  Do you know the basics of Answer CUCM or CallManager Yes. That’s why I am here  Virtualization/VMware Running server apps as VMs. VMware ESX vs. ESXi hypervisor vSphere Storage Area Networking Separation of storage from the compute FC, iSCSI & FCoE protocol Cisco UCS It is a new computing architecture from Cisco. Beside other components it offers B and C series x86 based servers BRKUCC-2782_syali © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 7

DAS, iSCSI and SAN Comparison DAS (Direct Attached DAS SAN iSCSI Storage): Rack Mount Computer System Computer System Computer System HP/IBM MCS Servers Host/ Application Application Application File System File System File System Popular DAS Protocol: SCSI Server Volume Manager Volume Manager Volume Manager SCSI Device Driver SCSI Device Driver SCSI Device Driver iSCSI Driver iSCSI: Access SCSI storage SCSI Bus Adapter FC HBA TCP/IP Stack NIC media using IP network Block I/O SAN: Storage (Hard Drives) SAN IP away from physical server Storage Transport NIC or compute TCP/IP Stack Popular SAN Protocol: FC iSCSI Layer SCSI FC Bus Adapter Storage Media BRKUCC-2782_syali © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Storage Area Network (SAN) SAN: Way to access the storage Clients sitting away from compute Remove Hard Drive and put it 1km away LAN High-performance interconnect Servers providing high I/O throughput Lower TCO relative to direct SAN attached storage, storage can be shared Block Storage Devices Separation of Storage from the Server BRKUCC-2782_syali © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

New UC Deployment Building BlocksThinking outside the (MCS) Box  Deployments have been based on single application MCS servers  Virtualization allows multiple Virtual Machines to access common HW resources  Solution capacity and deployment models do not change  Building blocks change from physical ‘servers’ with CPU/MEM/HDD to VMs  The number of required ‘servers’ remains the same, but the HW will vary BRKUCC-2782_syali © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

UC Deployment Model (Application) All UC Deployment Models are supported No change in the current deployment models Base deployment model – Single Site, Centralized Call Processing, etc. are not changing NO software checks for design rules No rules or restrictions are in place in UC Apps to check if you are running the primary and sub on the same blade Clustering over WAN (COW) Mega-Cluster Mixed/Hybrid Cluster vBlock BRKUCC-2782_syali http://www.cisco.com/go/ucsrnd © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

High Availability Design Rules Current Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery strategies are still applicable The UC apps redundancy rules are same Distribute UC application nodes across UCS blades, chassis and sites to minimize failure impact Primary/secondary on different blade, chassis, sites On same blade, mix Subs with TFTP/MoH vs. just Subs Redundancy of UCS components (blade, chassis, FEX links, Interconnect switching) Redundancy of “new” network types (10GbE, SAN multi-pathing, etc.) BRKUCC-2782_syali © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Virtual Machine Sizing Virtual Machine characteristics store in OVA An OVF package consists of several files, placed in one directory A one-file alternative is the OVA package Each products has one or more defined OVAs OVA defines: -vCPU, vRAM, vDisk, vNICs, OS Type -Network and Storage traffic profiles OVA naming scheme: -Includes product, user count and revision CUCM_7500_user_v1.0_vmv7.ova CUC_5000_user_v1.0_vmv7.ova Cisco UC OVAs include partition alignment BRKUCC-2782_syali http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Server design considerationsWhich UCS servers should be deployed? Does the customer already have Data Center w/ SAN? -ROI realized much earlier -SAN/DataCenter knowledge simplifies deployment Is UC a driver for implementing SAN? -SAN/DataCenter knowledge key to successful deployment -Much lower ROI due to SAN costs UCS chassis management -B Series Chassis have centralized management via UCS Manager -C Series are managed individually via CIMC BRKUCC-2782_syali © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

UC QoS Concepts – With C-Series or MCSCUCM CTL Packet L3 L2:0 L3:CS3  CUCM VM or MCS is connected to a switch  CUCM marks traffic based on L3 DSCP values  Physical switch (e.g Cat6k) does mapping from L3 DSCP to L2 CoS (if needed) C S 3 CAT6K dc1-access-6k(config)#mls qos map dscp-cos 24 to 3 L2:3 L3:CS3 dc1-access-6k(config)#mls qos map dscp-cos 46 to 5 BRKUCC-2782_syali Physicaland/or its affiliates.

CUCMUC QoS Concept – With B-Series 6100 switch in middle – L2 based prioritization L2:0 L3:CS3 DSCP value in IP header is not altered by 6100 UCS 6100 6100 sends packet to Physical ethernet switch Default QoS settings on UCS FC (“match cos 3”) – no drop policy CAT6K Rest (“match any”) – Best Effort Queue BRKUCC-2782_syali vSwitch &2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
