VSM on UCS Bundle , CPS-UCS-2RU-K9

[mohamedbineesh]

When we purchase VSM7.5 on UCS Bundle CPS-UCS-2RU-K9  , Do we have to purchase VMware Hyperviosr/ VMware Licenses Separately ?

OR Does the bundle includes VMware Hypervisor as well ?

Your Cisco PhySec ATP partner or the Cisco SE should be able to clarify this for you, but I believe that SKU number is for a bare metal install of VSM on the chassis.

As Scott mentioned:

CPS-UCS-xxxx is BARE METAL for VSM7.

For virtualized VSM, you need to get a Cisco UCS part number (e.g. UCSC-C240-xxxx) AND the VMware licenses.

VSM does not come with VMware licensing.
