Migrating System Manager to Release 7.0.1

About this task

During the migration of Avaya Aura® solution to Release 7.0.1, you must first migrate System Manager 6.x to Release 7.0.1.

Procedure

  1. Create a backup of System Manager from the following:
    • System Manager web console

    • System Platform web console

  2. Record the following System Platform and System Manager 6.x settings:
    • All IP addresses

    • Subnetwork mask

    • Gateway

    • DNS

    • NTP Server

  3. With the DVD that comes with Appliance Virtualization Platform, install the Solution Deployment Manager client on the computer of the technician if not already installed.

    Avaya provides the DVD with Solution Deployment Manager client and Appliance Virtualization Platform.

  4. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.13.5.

    When you set the IP address to 192.168.13.5, the Solution Deployment Manager client can communicate with the Appliance Virtualization Platform services port on same network.

  5. Install Appliance Virtualization Platform on the existing System Manager Release 6.x.
  6. Using the Solution Deployment Manager client, in the VM Management section, create a location, host, and virtual machine that you require for deployment of OVA files.
  7. Perform the following to prepare Utility Services if Utility Services is not already installed:
    1. Select the footprint size of the Utility Services virtual machine.
    2. Select the Utility Services mode.
  8. Deploy the Utility Services OVA file.
  9. Install the Utility Services 7.0.1 feature pack.
  10. On the computer of the technician, change the IP address to 192.11.13.5.

    The Solution Deployment Manager client can now communicate with Appliance Virtualization Platform and all virtual machines. When Utility Services OVA is setup, Utility Services can gain access to the entire virtual machine. Utility Services provides application routing between physical port and virtual applications.

  11. Using the Solution Deployment Manager client, set any System Manager configuration settings that the system prompts, accept the licence terms, and deploy System Manager Release 7.0 OVA to the virtual machine.

    System Manager OVA deployment takes about 30 minutes.
