This chapter provides an overview of the new features and enhancements for Application Enablement Services Release 7.0.1.
Application Enablement Services 7.01 OVA VMWare Virtual Appliance offer supports a fresh installation of Application Enablement Services 7.0.1 running on the ESXi 5.x or 6.0 VMM. The OVA may be installed as a virtual machine on a system running VMWare’s vSphere version 5.0, 5.1, 5.5 or 6.0 virtualization platform.
The Avaya-supplied Application Enablement Services ISO will contain the following software:
Application Enablement Services 7.0 or 7.0.1
Third-party software for Application Enablement Services
Customer-provided server hardware and the RHEL 6.5 OS software
Application Enablement Services 7.0.1 software is deployable on Appliance Virtualization Platform Release 7.0.1.
Application Enablement Services 7.0.1 can be deployed over the 7.0 GA version. Application Enablement Services 7.0.1 bin file can be deployed from the Application Enablement Services system command prompt.
This feature will provide a local WebLM server to Application Enablement Services for use in an Enterprise-Wide licensing environment.
The virtual appliance offer will be installed as a virtual machine running on VMware ESXi 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 platforms. However, for Application Enablement Services 7.0.1, support has been expanded to include VMware ESXi 6.0.
From a security point of view, it is recommended to enable products only with SNMP v3, with authentication and privacy modes. Therefore, SNMP v3 with authentication and privacy modes is now the mandatory requirement for both current and future development for all Avaya products.
Application Enablement Services configuration changes will be logged through Syslog which will enable the changes to be tracked in logs that can be automatically audited by operations. Customers will need to export logs for regular backups. With this capability the exports can be automatic rather than manual. This enables improved manageability and monitoring and will address customer concerns about audit gaps.
Application Enablement Services 7.0.1 supports CSR3 hardware.
Application Enablement Services OAM web pages can now be correctly displayed when using the Internet Explorer Web browser versions 9, 10, and 11.
