Use this procedure to prepare the setup to deploy the Avaya Aura® Software-Only ISO image on Microsoft Azure.
Procedure
From Release 10.1 and later, AE Services checks the NICs configuration, where the number of NICs should not be more than three, and the name of the NICs must be eth0 to eth2 (eth0, eth1, or eth2) depending on the number of NICs configured.
If there are NICs other than eth0, eth1, or eth2, they must be removed.
For example: mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens3 /tmp
Configure the LDAP server. For more information, see "Configuring the LDAP server".
Disable the firewall by entering the command:
systemctl disable firewalld
Warning:
This is a slow process and affects system performance when logging is enabled.
Make sure you see the line SELINUX=disabled in the /etc/selinux/config file.
Do the following to create entries in the /etc/hosts file and edit the /etc/hosts command:
Make sure IPv4 and IPv6 loopback entries are added in the /etc/hosts file. The loopback entries must be in the following formats:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
Caution:
If you need to use the IPv6 architecture, it must be dual stack (IPv6 and IPv4).
Only IPv6 is not supported.
Edit /etc/hosts and add an entry for your server. For example: ipAddress fqdn hostname.
Add the full DNS hostname to /etc/hosts file.
Change the hostname in the /etc/hostname file.
Append the following line to the file network at /etc/sysconfig/:
HOSTNAME=<hostname>
Replace <hostname> with the host name of the AES.
Append the following line to the file cloud.cfg at /etc/cloud/:
preserve_hostname: true
Caution:
To use your existing LDAP directory with AE Services, you must manually configure your LDAP implementation for compatibility with AE Services User Management.
Upload the AES ISO to the RHEL 8.4 or RHEL 8.10 instance.
