The supported hardware specifications for the Cisco vBond Orchestrator, Cisco vManage, and the Cisco vSmart Controller are as follows:
Note |
For cloud deployments, the Cisco operation teams actively monitor the customer deployment and add resource in collaboration with the customer. This topic does not include recommendations for Cisco cloud deployments. |
Note |
The controller and the device version should be the same, to achieve the below scale. |

To achieve scale beyond the above mentioned numbers, deploy multiple overlays.
Note |
In Cisco vManage Release 20.5.1 and earlier releases, You can modify the DPI size to the desired value to achieve the above mentioned storage size numbers. |
Note |
Starting from Cisco vManage Release 20.6.1, you can achieve the above mentioned storage size numbers by modifying the aggregated DPI size. The aggregated DPI size is unidimensional and varies when the deployment includes edge devices that run on a mix of releases (Cisco SD-WAN Release 20.6.x and earlier releases). The aggregated DPI also varies when on-demand troubleshooting is enabled for the devices. Ensure that both the DPI and aggregated DPI index sizes are configured to enable on-demand troubleshooting. To modify the aggregated DPI value,
|
Note |
When DPI is enabled, you must set the Statistics Collection timer to 30 minutes or higher. To set the Statistics Collection timer,
