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
