You can export the configuration data of an Avaya Aura® Device Services node to a .properties file. You can use the exported data to facilitate the Avaya Aura® Device Services installation process in migration or reinstall scenarios. The exported file contains all the parameters required for silent installation, and most of the parameters are already properly configured. Therefore, you can install Avaya Aura® Device Services in silent mode using this file instead of manually configuring the required settings during the interactive installation.

Configuration file structure

The exported .properties file contains the set of parameters in the following format:

<PARAMETER_NAME>=<PARAMETER VALUE>

For example:

INCLUDE_OPENLDAP=n
CASSANDRA_VER=
INCLUDE_OAUTH=n
USE_LDAP_FOR_AUTH=y
KEYSTORE_PW=<>

Most of the parameters required for silent installation contain the required values. For the parameters, such as KEYSTORE_PW, where values are set to <>, you must provide values relevant to the server where you install Avaya Aura® Device Services. You do not need to modify parameters that have no value set, such as REST_FRONTEND_HOST.

Limitations

The exported configuration file only supports silent installation. You cannot use this file for interactive installations.

Use case example

The following is a simplified example of an Avaya Aura® Device Services node restoration using the exported configuration file:

1. Redeploy virtual machines.

2. In the exported configuration file, modify the parameters where values are set to <> according to your deployment settings.

3. Reinstall the Avaya Aura® Device Services application in silent mode using the exported configuration file.

4. Restore configuration and user data from backup files.
