Last Updated : Dec 06, 2024 |
Prolog information
Note:
  • Avaya Aura® Communication Manager supports VMware hosts with Hyperthreading enabled at the BIOS level.
  • Reservations are not permitted for Avaya Solutions Platform 4200 series solutions (formerly known as CPOD/PodFx) deployment. For reservationless deployment of Avaya Aura® applications, see the recommendations given in Application Notes on Best Practices for Reservationless deployment of Avaya Aura® software release 10.1 on VMware.
    Ensure to consider reservations for deploying Avaya Aura® applications on Avaya Solutions Platform 130 and Avaya Solutions Platform S8300.
The following table describes the resource requirements to support different profiles for Communication Manager on Customer-provided VMware and Avaya-supplied Avaya Solutions Platform 130:

Note:
The following deployment options are for future use:
  • CM Standard Duplex Array Max Users 300000
  • CM High Duplex Array Max Users 300000
  • CM Simplex Array Max users 300000
If you select any of these options during deployment, it results in an unsupported configuration, and you must redeploy Communication Manager with a supported profile.
A gibibyte (GiB) and a gigabyte (GB) are sometimes used as synonyms, though they do not describe the same output of capacity technically. However, they are close in size. A gibibyte = 10243 and gigabyte = 10003.
The terms mebibyte and megabyte are closely related and often used as synonyms, though they don't technically refer to the same amount of capacity. However, they are close in size, One mebibyte equals 1.048576 megabytes.
