Question about design IP Office Server Edition 9.1 VE and ACCS 7.0 Business continuity

[tony412]

Hi,

i've two Vmware host where I need to implement one IP Office SE and one ACCS x host.

In the first vmware host i must to install
1 IP Office Primary Server Edition 9.1 virtualized edition
1 WebLM + 1 AMS+ 1 ACCS Server

In the second vmware host i must to install
1 IP Office Secondary Server Edition 9.1 virtualized edition
1 WebLM + 1 AMS + 1 ACCS Business Continuity


I have 3 questions about this environment:

Can i install all the licenses (IP Office Server Edition Licenses + ACCS licenses) togheter on the first Weblm server and the licenses (IP Office Server Edition Licenses + ACCS licenses) togheter on the second Weblm server?

With any ACCS agent license is bundled a VM Pro channel license to provide a registration feature with IP Office Voice mail and contactstore, this bundled VM Pro channel license are provided also on the secondary Server or this replication is not necessary?
I've read a Product Support Notice (PSN004721u) about ACCS and IP Office SE in virtualized environment, which it appears that i cannot install IPO SE and ACCS in the same VMWare Host, what does this in the previous environment? I must to use 4 different VMware host?


Thanks and regards.

Antonio

IPO 9.1 doesn't support WebLM licenses.

VM channels are shared between the two VM servers if you have IPO Select. If not the second VMPro will only start to handle calls if the first one is down and can use the VM channels exclusively.

Don't know about ACSS on VMware, sorry.

That's how I read the PSN, you'll need 4 VMware servers, the application will never know it's on the same server though.
If you get 4 hosted servern from a datacenter you'll never know if they are on the same hardware or not.

I think it's partly due to that people buy just the minimum server to run VMware and host everything on them.
The issue that could happen is that you NIC won't handle the RTP since you have both IPOSE and AMS on the same server, although as long as you have good specs it should be fine and you can always put them on seperate NICs.

But the Avaya supported install seems to be 4 seperate servers.
