Deploying the Utility Services OVA file

About this task

Use the procedure to create a virtual machine on the ESXi host, and deploy Utility Services OVA on the Avaya-provided server.

To deploy Utility Services, you can use Solution Deployment Manager from System Manager or the Solution Deployment Manager client, when System Manager is unavailable. Deploy Utility Services first, install the Release 7.0.1 feature pack, and then deploy all other applications one at a time.

Before you begin

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Services > Solution Deployment Manager, and then click VM Management.
  2. In VM Management Tree, select a host.
  3. On the Virtual Machines tab, in the VMs for Selected Location <location name> section, click New.

    The system displays the VM Deployment section.

  4. In the Select Location and Host section, do the following:
    1. In Select Location, select a location.

  7. In the Deploy OVA section, perform the following:
    1. In Select Software Library, select the local or remote library where the OVA file is available.

    2. In Select OVAs, select the OVA file that you want to deploy.
    3. In Flexi Footprint, select the footprint size that the application supports.
      • S8300D: Due to the limited resources available on S8300D, the only footprint option is minimal

      • Default: For all other server platforms.
