Hello guys!

I'm new in Siemens OpenScape Voice System. I have already read some documentation and I'm going to try to install, but I have one main question.

1. As I have read "Integtated Simplex" can only install on physical server or can I try to install on ESXi server?

Thanks for answer!!!

OSV what? Version 7? Also on ESXi as integrated duplex.

Taken from OSV V7 installation manual issue 25:

As of V7, virtualization is supported for simplex and standard duplex (co-located
and geographically separated) configurations.

OSV Version is 7

Your OpenScape Voice V7 can be installed in a virtualized environment, here some notes (for references see below):


* Supports OSV images in a Storage Area referred to as a “datastore”.
* Is HW independent.
* Has no maintenance controller interfaces (RSA, IMM, iRMC, VMK).
* Does not support HW Alarming.
* Currently supports and requires a fixed number of 4 (virtual) Ethernet ports for all configurations (including simplex virtual machines).
* Supports simplex OSV configurations. (See Note 1 below)
* Supports 2 node clustering in co-location and network geographical separation. The co-located OSV can be deployed on 1 (both nodes on same physical host) or 2 hosts. A geo-separated OSV should be deployed on 2 hosts.
* The OSV virtual Machine can use internal or SAN storage.
* OSV is compatible with VMware ESXi V5.0 and all hardware used should be on the VMware compatibility list for ESXi V5.0.
* Virtual machine disk size of at least 140 GB.
* OSV redundancy depends on Survival Authority. Without Survival Authority a single node failure or interconnection failure may bring down the whole cluster. This is a valid for all co-located and geo-separated configurations.
* OSV StandAlone Service is only allowed for a L3-geo-separated configuration (i.e., a configuration that does not provide a virtual IP failover).
Reference: have a look at "OpenScape Voice V7 Service Manual: Installation and Upgrades - Installation Guide" (A31003-H8070-J100-25-7631 of August, 2013).

Note 1:
Despite in the very first "OpenScape Solution Set V7 Virtual Machine Resourcing and Configuration Guide - Service Documentation" (A31003-S1100-S100-01-7620 released during October, 2012)  there was a statement about OSV V7 Simplex/Entry option and its operation into a Virtualized Environment, a statement which denied the support for such type of deployment (the text was simply "The simplex / entry option is not available for virtual environment." see it on Page 29, Section 5 "Virtualization Dimensioning Details") then, in a more recent version of the same service document (A31003-S1100-S100-08-7620 recently updated on September, 2013), you will discover that Siemens removed that specific restriction.

Here the reference (Pages: 71 through 75):

"As of V7 R1, virtualization is supported for Integrated Simplex (currently under test: check with Product Management for availability) simplex and standard duplex (co-located and geographically separated) configurations. Supports 2 node clustering in co-location and network geographical separation. The co-located OSV can be deployed on 1 (both nodes on same physical host) or 2 hosts. A geo-separated OSV should be deployed on 2 hosts."

4 (virtual) Ethernet ports
I need four (virtual) NIC's for Entry or Simplex installation?

And, can I use higher ESXi version like 5.5, or not?
