Deploying Avaya IP Office Servers as Virtual Machines
Adjusting the virtual machine's processors
About this task
You can configure multiple virtual processor (vCPUs) for a virtual machine. A virtual machine cannot have more vCPUs than the maximum number of logical CPUs on the host virtual server platform. The number of logical CPUs is the number of physical processor cores.
Note that the CPU core clock speed affects the range selection. When the CPU is at the low end toward 2 GHz, use the higher number of CPUs. When the CPU speed is higher, for example 3.6 GHz, use the lower number of CPUs.
The CPU core clock speed multiplied by the number of cores, must meet the aggregate CPU cycle requirements of the virtual machine. See IP Office Server Profiling.
Before you begin
The following processes can be used on a new virtual machine that has not been powered on/started.
To perform the same actions on an existing virtual machine, it must first be powered off/stopped before making the adjusting and then powered on/started again. That will interrupt all services provided by the virtual machine.
Procedure
- In the list of virtual machines, select the required virtual machine.
- Right-click and select Connect.
- If the virtual machine is already running, stop it by clicking the
. This stops the services provided by the virtual machine. - In the virtual machine connection window, select .
- Select Processor.
- Adjust the settings to match the recommended settings for the server role. See IP Office Server Profiling.
- Click Apply.
Next Steps
If doing as part of installing a new virtual machine, continue with any further profiling required. When completed, start the virtual machine (see Starting the virtual machine).
