Deploying Avaya Aura Software-Only ISO image on on-premise, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform

Last Updated : Apr 24, 2024 |

About this task

Use this procedure to deploy the Avaya Aura® ISO image in a Software-Only environment.

For more information about the supported platforms, see the Supported platforms topic under Software-only environment overview.

Note:

The deployment of Avaya Aura® applications as software only is available but a restricted offer for net new deployments and requires Avaya Aura® BU approval before proceeding. If you have a business requirement to deploy Avaya Aura® as software only, please get in touch with your Avaya Sales team. Existing customers using software only deployments continue to be supported.

Before you begin

If you are installing Avaya Aura® Software-Only ISO image on on-premise, see Configuring the Linux operating system for AE Services Software-only installation on on-premise.
If you are installing Avaya Aura® Software-Only ISO image on AWS, see Preparing for Software-Only deployment on AWS.
If you are installing Avaya Aura® Software-Only ISO image on Microsoft Azure, see Preparing for Software-Only deployment on Microsoft Azure.
If you are installing Avaya Aura® Software-Only ISO image on Google Cloud Platform, see Preparing for Software-Only deployment on Google Cloud Platform.

Procedure

Open an ssh session to the AE Services server and open an account with root privileges.
List the contents of /etc/fstab to find out the name of the media directory.

The media directory is the mount point for this procedure.
To install from a CD or DVD, insert the disk into the DVD or CD drive on the AE Services server.

If you have installed and configured the Autorun RPM on the server, the installation program starts automatically.
Do the following steps if the installation program does not start automatically:
1. To ensure that the media directory is properly mounted, type the command mount mountpoint
2. To start the installation program manually, type the command mountpoint/install-10.2.x.x.x.x–x
The installation wizard displays the Navigating the dialog boxes screen. Go to step 5.
To install the AE Services server software from an ISO image, download the ISO image to the /tmp directory of the AE Services server, and then do one of the following:
- Mount the image using the mount command. For example mount -t iso9660 -o loop /tmp/swonly-<build-number>.iso mountpoint.
- Validate that the operating system fulfills all the prerequisites by typing the command: /mountpoint/install-10.2.x.x.x.x.x -c
  
  Note:
  If the RPM check fails, install the missing RPMs.
  
  To view the complete list of all the required RPMs, see AE Services RPMs.
- Start the installation program manually, by typing the command: /mountpoint/install-10.2.x.x.x.x–x.
The installation wizard displays the Navigating the dialog boxes screen.
Press Enter to continue with the installation.

The installation wizard displays the Select Installation Media screen
Select the media and press Enter.
In the Enter RPM URL screen, type the path name.

For example, /media/cdrom/Releases.
Highlight OK and press Enter.

The installation wizard displays the Select Release Version screen with the latest version selected by default.
Press Enter.
In the Co-residency warning screen, highlight Yes and press Enter.
In the Choose Installation Method screen, verify that Install/Update is selected.
Highlight OK and press Enter.
The installation wizard displays the Choose Installation Packages screen with the following packages selected:
- MVAP-Avaya AE Services
- Third Party-Third_Party_Packages
Highlight OK and press Enter.

The installation wizard displays the Optional Package screen with the aesvcs-linuxconfig package selected by default.
Select the Optional Package.

Caution:
If you use your own implementation of LDAP, cs-cusldap will overwrite your existing LDAP directory. To use the existing LDAP directory with AE Services, manually configure your LDAP implementation for compatibility with AE Services User Management.

Avaya recommends that you accept the default configuration package aesvcs-linuxconfig, which is the Linux configuration package for AE Services.

The installation wizard displays the Enable and Disable Enhanced Access Security Gateway Options screen.
Select the appropriate Security Gateway Option.

Note:
Enhanced Access Security Gateway option enables or disables Avaya Services logins to access your system. Register your product using Avaya Global Registration Tool to enable Avaya Remote Connectivity. You can also enable this feature after deploying the application by using the command EASGManage.

The installation wizard displays the Last chance to abort -- Ready to Proceed? screen.
Select Yes to continue.
Verify the installation command. If all options are correct, press Enter to select Yes.
The time required to install the software depends on the packages and the server processing power. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for the installation. When the installation is complete, the program displays the following message:
```
Success, Installation/Update completed
```
During the installation, press Enter to Exit.
- If the installation is successful, the wizard displays the following message:
```
Installation Successful — Install/Upgrade log file is in /var/disk/avaya
```
- If the installation is unsuccessful, the wizard displays the following message:
```
Installation/Update failed
```
Press Enter to select OK.
Please remove the DVD or CD if you used it for the AE Services installation
Reboot the server.

Next Steps

Install the AE Services license. See license requirements.
