From System Manager Release 7.0, several Avaya Aura® applications support an automated migration path that the central System Manager Solution Deployment Manager facilitates. The migration process includes situations such as:
Changing the server, operating system, and the hypervisor.
Creating a backup and restoring a backup in addition to the normal upgrade process for the application.
The following are the objectives of the Avaya Aura® automated upgrade and migration:
Move from a manual step-by-step procedure that is performed on the application server to an automated migration procedure on a centralized System Manager.
Eliminate the time spent in waiting for each migration step to an automated sequencing of tasks with the application migration events automatically running in the background.
Move from multiple manual tasks that require human intervention and assessment that might be error prone to reliable integrated checks that assess and confirm migration readiness.
Release 7.0 and later support automated migrations for:
System Platform-based Communication Manager Release 6.x and Branch Session Manager Release 6.x
Linux-based Session Manager Release 6.x and Communication Manager Release 5.2.1
The automated migration functionality applies to the appliance offer provided by Avaya and the customer-provided Virtualized Environment solution.
