TelePresence on BE6000?

[lauren]

Does anyone have any real-world experience of deploying TelePresence Conductor and Server on a BE6000 platform?

I can't seem to find any information on installing and deploying it beyond pre-sales.  I'm also getting confused as to how much resources each needs on the BE6K.

To see what both Conductor and TelePresence Server sizes are supported on the BE6K platform you have, take a look at the Unified Communications in a Virtualized Environment website.

Suggest you take a look at the Installation Guide for Cisco Business Edition 6000 H/M on how to deploy the BE6K.  Once you have it deployed and setup, take a look at the Conductor Install Guide and TelePresence Server Install Guide.

Hi Lauren

You can use the Collaboration Virtual Machine Placement Tool (http://tools.cisco.com/ucs) select BE6K from the top row of system types, then drag and drop your applications at it will show you what resources each uses and how best to fit them into any given box.

For example you will find that TP server will not easily fit onto a BE6K with anything else on there - the small version needs 8 CPUs for example and will fill a BE6K-M UCS. So at least a BE6K-H will be needed if you want to run anything else as well although it's not recommended to run this alongside UCM.
