Customer deployment
Deployment into the blade, cluster, and server is managed by vCenter or vSphere.
October 2013
11
Architecture overview
The customer provides the servers and the VMware infrastructure including the VMware licenses. The OVA can also be deployed on standalone ESXi hosts.
Software delivery
The software is delivered as one or more pre-packaged Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) files that are posted on the Avaya Product Licensing and Download System (Avaya PLDS). Each OVA contains the following components: The application software and operating system. Preset configuration details for: - RAM and CPU reservations and storage requirements - Network Interface Card (NIC)
VMware components
VMware Software Component ESXi Host ESXi Hypervisor vSphere Client Description The physical machine running the ESXi Hypervisor software. A platform that runs multiple operating systems on a host computer at the same time. The client application that is installed on a personal computer or accessible through a Web interface. It connects to a vCenter server or directly to an ESXi host in the case where

Deployment guidelines
Description vCenter Server is not used. Enables the installation and management of virtual machines.
vCenter Server
vCenter Server provides centralized control and visibility at every level of the virtual infrastructure. Virtual machines are managed through vSphere Client software which provides alarming and performance monitoring of ESXi hosts and virtual machines. vCenter Server provides VMware features such as High Availability and vMotion.
Deployment guidelines
The high-level deployment steps are: 1. Deploy the OVA or OVAs. 2. Configure the application/system. 3. Verify the installation. The following are deployment guidelines for the virtual appliances: Deploy as many virtual appliances on the same host as possible. Deploy the virtual appliances on the same cluster if the cluster goes beyond the host boundary. Segment redundant elements on a different cluster, or ensure the redundant elements will not be on the same host. Create a tiered or segmented cluster infrastructure that isolates critical applications, such as CMS, from other virtual machines. Ensure that you have enough resources for rainy day scenarios or conditions. Do not configure resources only for traffic or performance on an average day. Do not oversubscribe resources. Oversubscribing affects performance. Monitor the server, host, and virtual appliance performance. Important: The values for performance, occupancy, and usage can vary greatly. The blade server may be running at 5% occupancy, but a virtual machine may be running at 50% occupancy. Note that a virtual machine will behave differently if the CPU usage is higher.

Call Center Elite Multichannel may be deployed on a host that does not have the resources to allocate to the virtual machine for power up. CPU reservations are assigned to the virtual appliance, built into the OVA, that are specified for a specific server speed. In the case of CPU resource limitations, the system displays a message, Insufficient capacity, or a similar message on each physical CPU. To correct this, you must adjust the VM properties. Right-click the virtual machine and select Edit Settings. The system displays the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box. Select the Resources tab. The system displays the VM resources such as CPU, Memory, Disk, and Advanced CPU. For CPU limitations, select CPU from the left-hand pane and adjust the slider to the appropriate number for starting the VM. Alternatively, enter the exact number in the Reservations field. In some cases, the CPU adjustments might not correct the power up conditions and you might have to lower the CPU speed. You can follow this procedure to lower other VM resources as necessary. Caution: Do not modify the resource settings. Modifying these allocated resources could have a direct impact on the performance, capacity, and stability of theCall Center Elite Multichannel virtual machine. For the system to run at full capacity, these resource size requirements must be met. Removing or greatly downsizing reservations could put this requirement at risk. Any deviation is at the customers own risk.

Glossary
AFS Authentication File System. AFS is an Avaya Web system that allows you to create Authentication Files for secure Avaya Global Services logins for supported non-Communication Manager Systems. A software solution development by Avaya that includes a guest operating system. A physical server sold by Avaya running a VMware hypervisor that has several virtual machines, each with its virtualized applications. The servers can be staged with the operating system and application software already installed. Some of the servers are sold as just the server with DVD or software downloads. A blade server is a stripped-down server computer with a modular design optimized to minimize the use of physical space and energy. Although many components are removed from blade servers to save space, minimize power consumption and other considerations, the blade still has all of the functional components to be considered a computer. A virtualization layer that runs directly on the server hardware. Also known as a bare-metal hypervisor. Provides processor, memory, storage, and networking resources on multiple virtual machines. A hypervisor is also known as a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). A hypervisor is a hardware virtualization technique which runs multiple operating systems on the same shared physical server. Media Access Control address. A unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication on the physical network segment. Open Virtualization Appliance. An OVA contains the virtual machine description, disk images, and a manifest zipped into a single file. The OVA follows the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) specification. Product Licensing and Download System. The Avaya PLDS provides product licensing and electronic software download distribution. A reservation is the amount of physical RAM, CPU cycles, or memory that are reserved for a virtual machine. Remote Feature Activation. RFA is an Avaya Web system that you use to create Avaya License Files. These files are used to activate software including features, capacities, releases, and offer categories. RFA also

creates Authentication Files for secure Avaya Global Services logins for Communication Manager Systems. SAN Storage Area Network. A SAN is a dedicated network that provides access to consolidated data storage. SANs are primarily used to make storage devices, such as disk arrays, accessible to servers so that the devices appear as locally attached devices to the operating system. Capture a virtual appliance configuration in time. Creating a snapshot can affect service. Some Avaya virtual appliances have limitations and others have specific instructions for creating snapshots. A VMware feature that migrates virtual machine disk files from one data storage location to another with limited impact to end users. An administrative interface from VMware for the entire virtual infrastructure or data center, including VMs, ESXi hosts, deployment profiles, distributed virtual networking, and hardware monitoring. A virtual appliance is a single software application bundled with an operating system. Virtual Machine. Replica of a physical server from an operational perspective. A VM is a software implementation of a machine (for example, a computer) that executes programs similar to a physical machine. A VMware feature that migrates a running virtual machine from one physical server to another with minimal downtime or impact to end users. vMotion cannot be used to move virtual machines from one data center to another. High Availability. A VMware feature for supporting virtual application failover by migrating the application from one ESXi host to another. Since the entire host fails over, several applications or virtual machines can be involved. The failover is a reboot recovery level which can take several minutes. The vSphere Client is a downloadable interface for administering vCenter Server and ESXi.
