Points to consider:
-
The system selected to run Cisco vManage must satisfy the storage throughput requirement.
-
The operating system and the database volumes must be on a drive that supports Transactions per second (TPS) throughput based on the above-mentioned vCPU values.
-
Don’t oversubscribe vCPU and memory. However, an oversubscription of 2:1 on vCPU to pCPU (physical CPU) can be supported when your overlay has fewer than 250 devices.
-
We recommend a 10-Gbps interface for production.
-
We recommend three network interfaces —one for tunnel, one for management, and one for the Cisco vManage cluster message bus.
-
With hyperthreading enabled on CPU, an oversubscription of 4:1 on pCPUs to total number of threads is supported for fewer than 250 devices. For example, a Cisco UCS-C220-M4S server with two sockets, each with eight cores for a total of 16 physical cores can have hyperthreading enabled. Each processor has 16 logical CPUs for a total of 32 logical CPUs on both logical and physical processors (cores).
-
If your overlay network has few devices, but if they generate large amounts of DPI or cflowd data, we recommend that you use the server recommendations given for 251-1000 devices or for 1001 or more devices.
-
If DPI is enabled:
Note
To disable DPI statistics collection, in Cisco vManage select Edit. Scroll to find DPI and choose Disable All.

-
In a three node Cisco SD-WAN Manager cluster, we recommend that each Cisco SD-WAN Manager have a minimum of 32 vCPUs, 64 GB of memory, and a 1 TB disk, and that aggregated DPI data across all Cisco SD-WAN Manager instances not exceed 100 GB per day.
-
In a six node Cisco SD-WAN Manager cluster, we recommend that each Cisco SD-WAN Manager have a minimum of 32 vCPUs, 64 GB of memory, and a 1 TB disk, and that aggregated DPI data across all Cisco SD-WAN Manager instances not exceed 750 GB per day.
-
-
If DPI is disabled:
-
For a deployment of fewer than 1,500 nodes, a single Cisco SD-WAN Manager is required, although we recommend a cluster of three Cisco SD-WAN Manager instances for high availability. For a deployment of between 1,500 nodes and 4,499 nodes, a cluster of three Cisco SD-WAN Manager instances are required. Each Cisco SD-WAN Manager instance requires a minimum of 32 vCPUs, 64 GB of memory, and a 1 TB disk.

Points to Consider:
-
The OS volume must be on a solid-state drive (SSD).
-
If more than 1001 devices are present, the deployment of devices should not exceed 1500 OMP sessions per Cisco vSmart Controller.
