This platform supports Virtual Machines (VMs). The DSC SWe is supported on KVM, VMware, OpenStack, and MA-RMS.
The supported number of VMs on the
depends on the licensing configuration and the capacity of the KVM and the VMware hosts. Two of these VMs (required by default) are in virtual slots 1 and 2. These VMs are used for both management and routing purposes and are referred to asSpacevars 0 series3
...
All other VMs are referred to as Application VMs [(Routing or Load Balancer) Slots 3 to 20 – (RTNG_CPU and Load Balancer n, respectively)].
For more information about the VMs, refer to the appropriate chapter of the Installation Guides and the DSC - SP2000 Platform Manager User Guide.

This platform supports Management, Routing, and Application CPUs. Consider the following regarding these CPUs:
- Management traffic is supported on the Management CPUs.
- DSC and SIGTRAN traffic are supported on the Routing CPU (can be the same CPU but different subnets).
DSC Database (DB) is supported on the Application CPU (only for the DSC 8000)

References to Routing and Management VMs (Management CPUs) and Routing VMs (Routing CPUs)
The Documentation Library refers to Routing and Management VMs and Routing VMs where this reference may also apply to Management CPU and Routing CPU, respectively, if you are configuring a DSC 8000 system. Therefore, in each section of the Documentation Library that Routing and Management VM or Routing VM is mentioned, as a reminder, the following information is provided.
For simplicity, the Documentation Library uses the terms Routing and Management CPU (VM) and Routing CPU (VM) in place of the DSC SWe Web UI terms RTNG_MGMT_CPU and RTNG_CPU, respectively. Likewise, the terms Management CPU and Routing CPU are considered synonymous with DSC 8000 Web UI terms MGMT_CPU and RTNG_CPU, respectively. This is summarized in the following table. Apply these terms as required for your respective system.
