Virtual - VMware

Requirements

Minimal Cloud requirements:

  • Vmware ESX 5 or 6

  • 64-bit infrastructure only

  • E1000 NIC emulation or VMXNET3 interfaces

  • One Ethernet adapter for management (mgmt0)

  • One or more Ethernet adapter(s) for SIP and RTP traffic according to the table below (LAN/WAN)

  • If you are deploying ProSBC in a 1+1 configuration, you need two (2) additional Ethernet adapters to be used as control ports (ctrl0/ctrl1).

  • If you are deploying ProSBC with transcoding devices, you will need four (4) additional Ethernet adapters to be used as control and transcoding ports (ctrl0/ctrl1, trans0/trans1).

** The CPU number is based on Intel R630 with Xeon E5-2643. Double the CPUs number if yours are from a earlier generations.

More details on HW/CPU/NIC requirements can be found here: Requirements Matrix

For better performance use these settings:

  • CPU resource: allocation shares set to 'high'

  • CPU resource: reservation set to maximum and no limit (i.e. 'unlimited')

  • Memory resource: reserve all guest memory (all locked)

  • Disk: shares 'high'

  • Advanced CPU: Hyperthread core sharing to 'None'

  • Latency Sensitivity: 'High'

Getting the Image

Please go to our ProSBC Download site to get a copy of the latest SBC Image.

Installation on VmWare cloud

ProBSC VmWare Image

A virtual machine image is a single file that contains a virtual disk that has a bootable operating system installed on it. Images are used to create virtual machine instances within the cloud.

You will need to upload the latest SBC image into your VmWare before you can launch a virtual machine instance running the SBC software.

Launching an instance

Using the ESXi Web client

Using the vSphere client application

If you are installing a standalone SBC, the ProSBC or FreeSBC will need access to LAN/WAN and MGMT networks. For transcoding on TSBC-HW-TRANS, or HA pair installation, the ProSBC will also need access to CTRL0/CTRL1, and TRANS0/TRANS1 networks. In both instance launching methods above, when editing network adaptor, please take reference to ProSBC Networking for details on network requirements. For ProSBC Transcoding and associated network setup please also see Transcoding and Network Setup.

Accessing the SBC

Accessing console

You need to use the VMware console to access the system - SSH interface is not activated yet. Default username/password is root/root.

Assigning IP address

By default, all detect network interfaces will have DHCP enabled. Thus, the server might already have an IP address assigned if the network has a DHCP server running. In such case, you can display and use it to access the web portal configuration panel.

  1. Retrieve an IP address assigned by DHCP

 # ifconfig

If you want to assigned a static IP address or there are no DHCP on your network, you will need to configure it manually.

  1. Use tbchangeip shell command and answered questions to changed your Ethernet interface address:

 # tbchangeip

Note: No changes must be done to the repositories on the systems, and no other software should be installed unless written consent from TelcoBridges.

Accessing the SBC web portal

  • Open a web browser to the management IP of the SBC, on port 12358. Example if your server address is 192.168.178.30, the URL would be: http://192.168.178.30:12358

You should get to the SBC Configuration Wizard

  • If you do not know the IP address, you can find it from the VMware interface:

  • From here, you can go to Web Portal Initial Configuration Guide to continue the installation, and/or optimize your server to get the maximum out of your server.
