Notes on 2 vCPU VM configuration

The 2 vCPU VM configuration can be used for a Primary or a Secondary Cisco MediaSense node.
Expansion nodes are not supported with this configuration. This configuration is available for deployment on the UCS-E servers. Look for details here Cisco_MediaSense_on_UCSE

Disk Requirements For a Primary or Secondary Node

Disk 1 - 80GB for O/S
Disk 2 - 80GB for Database and working storage
Disk 3 - 210 GB Minimum. Can be expanded to 12 TB

Disk Requirements For a Expansion Node

Expansion Nodes are not supported with this virtual machine configuration.

Supported Capabilities

Physical Hardware	Audio-Weight Media Streams Supported Per Node	Concurrent API Requests Supported per non-Expansion Node	Max Call Arrival Rate per Node	Max Nodes per Cluster	Max Media Storage per Node	Max Video Playback per Node	Notes
UCS B/C or Specs Based	40	3 + 3 queued	20 per minute	2	12 TB	2 (Ver 10.0)
SRE-910	60	3 + 3 queued	20 per minute	2	210 GB	none	Not supported with MediaSense 10.0 or higher
UCS-E	40	3 + 3 queued	20 per minute	2	400 GB or 700 GB++	2 (Ver 10.0)

+ A audio call between two end points equals two Audio-Weight Media Streams.
++ Max recording storage per node on UCS E140S blades is 400GB when using 600GB SED drives, or 700GB when using 900GB 15K RPM drives.

Notes on 4 vCPU VM configuration

The 2 vCPU VM configuration can be used for a Primary or a Secondary Cisco MediaSense node.
Expansion nodes are not supported with this configuration. This configuration is available for deployment on the UCS-E servers. Look for details here Cisco_MediaSense_on_UCSE

Disk Requirements For a Primary or Secondary Node

Disk 1 - 80GB for O/S
Disk 2 - 80GB for Database and working storage

++ Max recording storage per node on UCS E140S blades is 400GB when using 600GB SED drives, or 700GB when using 900GB 15K RPM drives.

Notes on 7 vCPU VM configuration

The 7 vCPU VM configuration can be used for a Primary, Secondary or an Expansion Cisco MediaSense node.

Disk Requirements For a Primary or Secondary Node

Disk 1 - 80GB for O/S
Disk 2 - 600GB for Database and working storage
Disk 3 - 210 GB Minimum. Can be expanded to 12 TB

Disk Requirements For a Expansion Node

Disk 1 - 80GB for O/S
Disk 2 - 80GB for Database and working storage
Disk 3 - 210 GB Minimum. Can be expanded to 12 TB

Supported Capabilities

Physical Hardware	Audio-Weight Media Streams Supported Per Node+	Concurrent API REquests Supported per non-Expansion Node	Max Call Arrival Rate per Node	Max Nodes per Cluster	Max Media Storage per Node	Max Video Playback per Node	Notes
UCS B/C or Specs Based	400	15 + 10 queued	2 per second	5	12 TB	40 (Ver 10.0)

-Up to 60 terabytes of media storage is supported per cluster, divided into up to six 2TB virtual disks in each of five servers. This assumes that all nodes are B-series servers, for which Cisco MediaSense supports SAN storage. C-series servers, for which only direct attached drives are currently supported, are limited to two 2TB media storage partitions each. Also, no single media partition may be smaller than 200GB.

This configuration is available for deployment on the UCS-E servers. Look for details here [[Cisco MediaSense on UCSE|Cisco_MediaSense_on_UCSE]]
-In addition to approved UCS servers, Cisco MediaSense 8.5(4) can also be installed on a Services Ready Engine (SRE) module inside a router. An SRE module is a router blade that has its own processors, storage, network interfaces, and memory. Support for SRE requires SRE v2.0 software.

-== Cisco MediaSense, Release 9.0(1)  ==
+=== Disk Requirements For a Expansion Node  ===
-Specification-based Virtualization enables Cisco MediaSense to run on Cisco Unified Computing System (Unified CS) servers that are also running other virtual machines. Specification-based Virtualization also enables Cisco MediaSense to run on select HP servers (Note that IBM servers are currently not supported.)
+Expansion Nodes are not supported with this virtual machine configuration.
-A new Open Virtualization Archive Virtual Machine (OVA-VM)&nbsp;template enables Cisco MediaSense to simplify the deployment of virtual machines in new installations. This template has deployment options for Services Ready Engines, primary servers, secondary&nbsp;servers, and expansion servers.
