Ordering Guide

Below is an example of a clean order for 1 unit of the Collaboration “per-server” SKU for VMware including required

services SKU (screenshot from Dynamic Configuration Tool):

4.3 Component Changes on Existing Hardware

Note: For UCS C210M1, Tested Reference Configuration 1 cannot be field-migrated to Tested Reference

Configuration 2. Customers who desire co-residency must order Tested Reference Configuration 2 or 3.

Note: there is no hardware migration from M1 servers to M2 servers.

There are no Collaboration SKUs defined for Cisco UCS component spares (e.g., memory modules, hard disk drives,

fans, power supplies, etc.). Please use Data-Center SKUs for any component spares needed.

USB Hardware:

UC applications require VMware to be supported on UCS hardware. At this time Cisco Unified Communications does

not support USB-based devices when installed on VMware, mean that the following hardware components should

not be purchased for Cisco Unified Communications Manager when it will be deployed on VMware and Cisco UCS:

●

External tape drives

●

Dongle for Music On Hold via external music source

Note that the Hardware Security Key for Cisco Unified Communications Manager may be ordered, because this key

does not plug into the USB port of the server; rather it is plugged into a system administrator’s laptop or desktop

computer.

See Cisco Unified Communications product documentation for other features impacted by lack of USB device support

(such as tape backup support).

Rack-mounting or Rail Kits:
