New Terms and Factors
Cores vs Sockets
Sockets = physical processor in server
Cores = vCPU = division of processing within a socket
Storage Types
Storage Area Networks (SAN) EMC or NetApp
Fiber Channel (FC) / Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) - preferred Core Core
NFS / iSCSI more restrictive 0 1
Direct Attached Storage (DAS) C-Series only Core Core
2 3
Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS)

Workaround ok
Legacy USB Features Might need more
Impacted when Unified CM is virtualized No Workaround
Install/upgrade error log (dump to USB drive) use virtual serial port instead of USB
eToken encryption key (USB key) - use USB on laptop not on server like you did in 4.x
Answer File (input via USB instead of floppy) use virtual floppy instead of USB
Basic UPS integration (APC USB to MCS) integrate UPS via VMware (as OS) or server
SMDI for Session Management Edition and Cisco Messaging Interface (USB serial cable)
TBD if VMware USB will work. Impact to to legacy voicemail integration and some SME use
cases.
