Virtual Machines

Virtual Machines (VMs) supported by Oracle Communications Session Delivery software varies across software version. Find specific version support within the context of your version's documentation.

Operation over VMs is roughly equivalent to deployment over COTS/Server hardware. Platform preparation, however, differs greatly. In addition, platform preparation differs greatly between VM platforms.

Preparation procedures that apply to all VM platforms include the following steps:

  1. Make the VM template available to the VM manager.
  2. Configure the VM manager to apply the template correctly for Oracle Communications Session Delivery software.
  3. Power-on the VM. If the deployment is using a VM template, the system uses that template to automatically install onto the virtual drive, after which the server reboots. Deployments using raw images do not perform an installation process.

VM deployment requires extensive knowledge about the specific platform that is not documented herein. The intent of this documentation is to provide information that helps the user navigate the deployment and perform tasks that are specifically related to Oracle Communications Session Delivery software.
