Cluster configuration

VMware vSphere ESXi hosts and their resources are pooled together into clusters. These clusters

contain the CPU, memory, network, and storage resources to allocate to virtual machines. Clusters scale

up to a maximum of 12 hosts. Clusters can support thousands of virtual machines.

The clusters can also support a variety of Cisco UCS C-Series servers running inside the same cluster.

Note: Some advanced CPU functionality might be unavailable if more than one CPU model is running a

cluster.

Datastores

Vblock Systems support a mixture of datastore types: block level storage using VMFS or file level storage

using NFS.

The maximum size per VMFS5 volume is 64 TB (50 TB VMFS3 @ 1 MB). VMware 5.5 and higher limits

the VMDK file size to 62TB. Each host/cluster supports a maximum of 255 volumes.

VCE optimizes the advanced settings for VMware vSphere ESXi hosts that are deployed in Vblock

Systems to maximize the throughput and scalability of NFS data stores. The Vblock System supports a

maximum of 256 NFS datastores per host.

Virtual networks

Virtual networking in the AMP-2P uses the standard virtual switches. The Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed

virtual switch manages virtual networking in the Vblock System. The Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch ensures

consistent, policy-based network capabilities to all servers in the data center by allowing policies to move

with a VM during live migration. This provides persistent network, security, and storage compliance.

Alternatively, with VMware 5.5 and later, you can select the VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) to

provide virtual networking for the Cisco C-Series servers. Virtual Center manages the VDS and ensures

consistent, policy-based networking capabilities, including load-balancing, prioritizing and segregating

traffic, and monitoring the health and security of the switch.

The Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch and VMware VDS use intelligent network Class of Service (CoS)

marking, which match physical switch Quality of Service (QoS) policies to shape network traffic according

to workload type and priority.
