ACI Multisite Orchestrator

[AbdElRahman.Ashraf]

Hello Team

We are going to implement the Cisco ACI Multi-Site solution between two sites. One of the main components of Multi-site is MSO (ACI Multi-Site orchestrator) which I found the "ACI-MSITE-VAPPL" part number for it. Based on the Cisco white paper given for ACI Multi-Site, three MSO nodes are clustered together in an active/active fashion. does it mean I need to order 3 number of ACI-MSITE-VAPPL? OR the license now is part of LEAF Advantage 

kindly your soonest help is highly appreciated

Best Regards

As long as you have the Advantage level licensing on your leaves you're all set.  Previously the ACI-MSITE-VAPPL was needed for licensing a cluster of 3 MSO nodes on VMware.  
Keep in mind that MSO is no longer being developed as a VMware OVA image (docker based VM).  MSO has been renamed as Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) and is hosted on the Nexus Dashboard appliance (either physical or virtual - Kubernetes based).
The only MSO OVAs stop with version 3.1, whereas NDO supports version 3.2 through 3.4 and onward.
