Platform Support
The Oracle Communications Core Session Manager (OCCSM) S-CZ8.2.5 software supports the following platforms.
Acme Packet Platforms
The OCCSM does not operate on Acme Packet Hardware. Upon installation, the software autodetects the platform and sets the product to OCCSM when deployed over hypervisors.
Qualified Hypervisors
Oracle qualified the following components for deploying version S-CZ8.2.5 as a Virtual Network Function.
- XEN 4.4: Specifically using Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM) 3.4.2
- KVM: Using version
embedded in Oracle Linux 7 with RHCK3.10
Note the use of the following KVM component versions:
- QEMU
- 2.9.0-16.el7_4.13.1 for qemu-img-ev, qemu-kvm-ev
- 3.9.0-14.el7_5.2 for libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu
- LIBVIRT
- 3.90-14-el7_5.2 for all components except -
- 3.2.0-3.el7_4.1 for libvirt-python
- QEMU
- VMware: Using ESXI 6.5 u1 on VMware vCenter Server
Supported Cloud Computing Platforms
- OpenStack (including
support for Heat template versions Newton and Pike)
Note:
For information about deploying Heat, see the README in the TAR file that contains the Heat templates.
Supported Interface Input-Output Modes
- Para-virtualized
- SR-IOV
- PCI Passthrough
