Which statement about when you deploy Cisco Unified CCE on Cisco UCS C-Series Tested Reference Configuration Servers is true?

The correct answer is B. You do not need to check/calculate if you have enough IOPS as described on Cisco Unified CCE docwiki VMs storage requirements. When deploying Cisco Unified CCE on a Tested Reference Configuration (TRC) server, the key insight is in the name: the configuration has already been tested and validated by Cisco. Cisco pre-validates that the TRC's built-in disk configuration meets the IOPS requirements for…

Question

Which statement about when you deploy Cisco Unified CCE on Cisco UCS C-Series Tested Reference Configuration Servers is true?

Options

  • AYou can check/calculate if you have enough IOPS as described on Cisco Unified CCE docwiki VMs storage requirements.
  • BYou do not need to check/calculate if you have enough IOPS as described on Cisco Unified CCE docwiki VMs storage requirements.
  • CYou can add more disks to the Cisco UCS C-Series TRCs to meet IOPS requirements.
  • DYou cannot add more disks, but you can connect the Cisco UCS C-Series TRC to the SAN in the network to meet IOPS requirements.

Explanation

When deploying Cisco Unified CCE on a Tested Reference Configuration (TRC) server, the key insight is in the name: the configuration has already been tested and validated by Cisco. Cisco pre-validates that the TRC's built-in disk configuration meets the IOPS requirements for supported CCE workloads, so customers deploying on a TRC inherit that validation automatically - no independent IOPS calculation is needed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A inverts the truth - while the docwiki IOPS methodology exists, it's for non-TRC deployments where you must verify your own storage; TRCs skip this step.
  • C is wrong because adding disks changes the hardware configuration, taking it outside the validated TRC spec and voiding the tested status.
  • D is wrong for the same reason - attaching SAN storage modifies the validated configuration; TRCs are self-contained and don't support this extension to meet IOPS.

Memory tip: Think of TRC as "Trust, Relax, Configured." The IOPS homework was done at the Cisco lab - you deploy and move on. Any modification (more disks, SAN) breaks the "Tested" guarantee.
