Discovery of Avaya Aura® applications and associated devices

To manage and upgrade software from System Manager, you must discover elements in the network. The system performs the discovery by using discovery profiles, where you configure subnetwork, SNMP access profiles, and element types to be discovered.

On the Discovery tab of Inventory > Manage Elements, you can create discovery profiles and use the profiles to discover elements. The Manage Elements page displays the discovered elements.

You must configure the applicable discovery parameters for System Manager to discover the Avaya Aura® application. System Manager uses SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 to discover Avaya Aura® applications.

For applications such as Communication Manager, you can use SNMP discovery or add the application from Manage Elements.

noteNote

To upgrade an Avaya Aura® application by using Solution Deployment Manager, discovery of applications, such as Communication Manager, Session Manager, and Branch Session Manager is a mandatory task.
