Sonus Recommendations for
Spacevars
0series3

General Recommendations

  • Plan enough resources (RAM, CPU, NIC ports, hard disk, etc.) for all the virtual machines (VMs) to run on the server, including resources needed by the host server.
  • Allocate each VM with only as much virtual hardware as that VM requires. Provisioning a VM with more resources than it requires can, in some cases, reduce the performance of that VM as well as other virtual machines sharing the same host.

  • Disconnect or disable any physical hardware devices (Floppy devices, Network interfaces, Storage controllers, Optical drives, USB controllers, etc.) under BIOS settings that you will not be using to free up interrupt/CPU resources.

Additional Information

  • The SBC SWe Lite VM does not currently support allocation of more than one vCPU.
  • With minimum RAM allocation, the maximum SIP endpoint registrars is 1000, and the maximum number of concurrent calls is 100.
  • Minimal networking configuration requires the Management Network Interface and at least one Media Interface to be assigned.
  • Each SBC SWe Lite VM will use approximately 5GB 5 GiB of Virtual Hard Drive space. Drive size is predetermined by the imported image.
