Cisco Expressway 14.0.1 VM Sizing / Error Message

[Malte_P_Scheuss]

Hey there,

We have Expressway clustered (2 x E & 2 C) 12.7.1 in use, with large deplayment, see VM szing:

https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-cisco-expressway.html

theat means, each server has 8 vCPU, 8 vRAM and 132 GB vDisk and "min" 1 vNIC. Everything fine, no error messages at all.

We tried to install 14.0.1, install was working properly and devices cam up, ACME Certifikation works all fine ... BUT ... "VM hardeware does fullfil requirements .... see VM sizing guide" (link above).... AND ... on this link is just 12.7.1 ... awesome ...

May question:

What are the hardware requirements and what VM sizing do i need to fullfil, to get rid of this error message.

Release note are just refering, that they have testet on VCenter 7 with ESX 6.7 ....

I’m sorry but I don’t know what is causing this error message to be shown for you. I answered @javier.estebanez, that looks to be the same person as @Alberto Garcia, on his question to verify that his CPUs where at the adequate speed for the large OVA as that was the issue for the OP.

What speed to you have on your CPUs?

Hi Roger,

My CPU speed is 3.10 GHz I believe this may be the problem, I have ask VM team to upgrade my vBox to Cisco specification.

[Roger Kallberg]

That would be a fair assumption as the HW specs clearly states that a minimum of 3.2 is needed.

Seems to be a found bug:

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvy24672

Workaround: None. (yet)

But this bug only applies for the version X14.0. There might not be a workaround for that version, but there is a fix --> Upgrade to X14.0.1

And I wouldn't see any issue, to just do the upgrade.
