Minimum OVA hardware requirements

For the minimum hardware requirements for OVA deployment, see the Technical Specifications — Hardware section in the Avaya Equinox® Management Deployment Guide.

Operating systems

Avaya Equinox® Management supports the Red Hat Linux operating system. Beginning in Avaya Equinox® Management version 9.0, Red Hat Linux comes pre-installed. Users migrating from Scopia Management 8.3 must first export their configuration, deploy the new Equinox Management 9.x OVA and then import the configuration (see the Deploying the Conferencing Application Server OVA section in the Avaya Equinox® Management Deployment Guide).

Equinox Management is required to be deployed on a host with VMware vSphere ESXi versions 6.7 or 7.0.

Redundancy requirements

High availability and service preservation for Equinox Management is based on either two or three redundant servers.

You can deploy two Avaya Equinox® Management servers in the same location, one as the primary server and the other as a secondary server (local redundancy). If the primary server fails, the secondary server automatically takes over. For increased reliability, deploy a third server as an off-site backup (geographic redundancy). For details, see Administrator Guide for Avaya Equinox® Management.

For existing redundant deployments, install Equinox Management on an additional server. For new redundant deployments, install Equinox Management on two or three separate servers, depending on the redundancy method.

Supported user directories (LDAP)

Equinox Management interoperates with a number of LDAP servers:

• Microsoft Active Directory Server for Windows 2019 Server

• Microsoft Active Directory Server for Windows 2016 Server

• Microsoft Active Directory Server for Windows 2012 Server

• Microsoft Active Directory Server for Windows 2008 Server – This server is supported for upgrades of existing systems with an LDAP configuration that used Active Directory 2008 however Windows 2008 Server is not supported by Microsoft anymore and security may be compromised.
