You can categorize Avaya Aura® applications upgrades into the following:
System Manager Solution Deployment Manager automates the entire migration process that covers creating a backup, deploying 7.0 OVA, installing the patches, feature packs, or service pack, and restoring the backup on the 7.0 system.
Avaya Aura® applications that supports automated migration flow:
System Platform-based Communication Manager, Utility Services, and Branch Session Manager Release 6.x.
Linux-based Session Manager Release 6.x and Communication Manager Release 5.2.1.
System Manager Solution Deployment Manager automates the deployment of the Release 7.0 OVA. You must manually create a backup of the existing system, install the Release 7.0.1 patches, service packs, or feature packs, and restore the data on the Release 7.0.1 system.
Communication Manager Messaging supports the semiautomated migration flow.
In the manual migration process, you must create a backup of the existing system, deploy Release 7.0 OVA by using the vSphere client, System Manager Solution Deployment Manager, or the Solution Deployment Manager client, install the Release 7.0.1 patches, and restore the data on the Release 7.0.1 system.
All other Avaya Aura® applications use the manual migration process flow. For more information, see the appropriate Upgrading and migrating to <Avaya Aura application 7.0.1> document.
