Virtual Machine Requirements
UC Monitor is supported in virtual environments.
- You can install UC Monitor components on virtual machines that meet or exceed the hardware requirements.
- To achieve equal performance in an environment that stresses a physical server, more memory is required on a virtual machine than on a physical server. Physical servers outperform virtual machines in the area of disk I/O. UC Monitor tasks the disk I/O heavily. You can expect less-than-equal performance on a virtual machine.
- In a Cisco environment, send SPAN traffic to the monitor NIC. For more information, see the following topics:
- To install the UC Monitor software on a virtual machine, follow the instructions in Installing the Software.
