About this task

The section provides the procedure to migrate System Platform-based on Linux-based template to Appliance Virtualization Platform on Avaya common servers.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. Create a backup of each Midsize Enterprise application running on the Midsize Enterprise 6.2.2 template by using:
    • The backup and restore capability of each application

    • System Platform

      System Platform backup can be used for disaster recovery.

  2. Record the following network parameters for Midsize Enterprise Release 6.x that you later require:
    • All IP addresses

    • Subnetwork mask

    • Gateway

    • DNS

    • NTP Server

  3. Install the Solution Deployment Manager client on the computer of the technician.
  4. Download all Avaya Aura® Release 7.0.1 Midsize Enterprise application OVAs on computer of the technician.
  5. Install Appliance Virtualization Platform on the Midsize Enterprise Release 7.0.1 server to remove the Midsize Enterprise System Platform.
  6. Using the Solution Deployment Manager client, create a location, host, and virtual machine on which the Midsize Enterprise application must run.
  7. Deploy the following OVAs one at a time:
    • Utility Services 7.0.1

    • System Manager 7.0.1

    • Session Manager 7.0.1

    • Communication Manager 7.0.1

    • Application Enablement Services 7.0.1

    • SAL 2.5

    • Communication Manager Messaging 7.0

    • Presence Services

    Enable the option to override the footprint resource reservation when you deploy the OVA files on Dell™ PowerEdge™ R610, HP ProLiant DL360 G7, Dell™ PowerEdge™ R620, or HP ProLiant DL360p G8 servers.

  8. Install the required software patches by using command line interface or System Manager Solution Deployment Manager.
  9. With the restore capability of the application, restore the backup of the application that you created in Step 1.
  10. Make any networking configuration change that is required for migrating from System Platform to Virtualized Environment.

    The network configuration is required for the applications such as Utility Services, Appliance Virtualization Platform, Communication Manager, Communication Manager Messaging to communicate with each other.

  11. Generate new Communication Manager Release 7.0.1 license files from Avaya:
    1. From System Manager WebLM get the Primary Host ID that is required to generate the Release 7.0.1 license file.
    2. Install Communication Manager license files on System Manager WebLM.
  12. On each Avaya Aura® application, install the Avaya Secure Gateway file.
  13. Verify that the system is migrated to Release 7.0.1.
