Administering an Avaya Breeze platform instance

Last Updated : Nov 18, 2021 |

About this task

You can create and administer the number of Avaya Breeze® platform instances allowed by the Avaya Breeze® platform license.

You set the FQDN of the Avaya Breeze® platform Management Network Interface to the same IP address you used when deploying the virtual machine.

System Manager supports HTTP Cookie based Single Sign On (SSO). To facilitate SSO between System Manager and Avaya Breeze® platform, the domain name component of Avaya Breeze® platform FQDN must match all or at least a part of the domain name of System Manager FQDN.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following:

  • The IPv4 address or the FQDN of the Avaya Breeze® platform Management Network Interface.

  • (Optional) The IPv6 address or the FQDN of the Avaya Breeze® platform Management Network Interface. You must enter the IPv4 address even if administering an IPv6 address.

    Important:

    During OVA deployments do not enter the IPv6 address, IPv6 network prefix, or IPv6 gateway for eth0 unless the latest Avaya Breeze® platform patches already have been applied. For more information about configuring IPv6, see Enabling IPv6 on the management interface of an Avaya Breeze platform server in Deploying Avaya Breeze® platform.

  • An Avaya Breeze® platform management FQDN that is registered in DNS.

  • The IPv4 or IPv6 address including the IPv4 network mask or IPv6 Network prefix length, and IPv4 or IPv6 default gateway for the Avaya Breeze® platform Security Module.

  • The SIP entity name associated to the Avaya Breeze® platform Security Module.

Procedure

  1. In System Manager, click Elements > Avaya Breeze® > Server Administration.
  2. In the Avaya Breeze® Server Instances list, click New.
  3. In the SIP Entity field, click the SIP Entity that you created.
  4. Ensure that the value in the UCID Network Node ID field is unique across the solution deployment so that it does not conflict with other UCID-generating entities such as Avaya Aura® Communication Manager or Avaya Experience Portal.

    UCID Network Node ID is a unique, numeric node ID that is assigned to each Avaya Breeze® platform server provisioned.

  5. In the Management Network Interface FQDN or IPv4 Address field, type the IP address or FQDN of the Avaya Breeze® platform Management Network Interface.
  6. Optional In the Management Network Interface FQDN or IPv6 Address field, type the IPv6 address or FQDN of the Avaya Breeze® platform Management Network Interface.
  7. In the Security Module fields, type the required addresses for the IPv4 or IPv6 SIP Entity Address, Network Mask or Network prefix length, and Default Gateway used for the SIP (Security Module) network.
  8. Click Commit to save your changes.

    The Commit fails if the Avaya Breeze® platform license file on WebLM does not have the sufficient capacity to allow addition of another Avaya Breeze® platform server.

  9. To put the Avaya Breeze® platform instance in service, do the following:
    1. If an in-service cluster does not exist, create a new cluster.
    2. On System Manager, click Elements > Avaya Breeze® > Cluster Administration.
    3. Select a cluster and assign your Avaya Breeze® platform server to the cluster.

      For more information, see Creating a new cluster.

    4. Click Cluster State > Accept New Service.

      For more information, see Accepting new service.
