Pairing Session Manager with an Avaya Aura Device Services node

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

You can pair a Session Manager instance to an Avaya Aura® Device Services (AADS) node when adding or after adding a Session Manager instance.

Do this procedure for all AADS nodes in the cluster.

For example, for a Session Manager cluster with two nodes, SM01 and SM02, to deploy an AADS cluster with two nodes, AADS01 and AADS02, you must pair:

  • SM01 with AADS01

  • SM02 with AADS02

Before you begin

Assign the Session Manager instance to a data center.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Session Manager  > Session Manager Administration.
  2. On the Session Manager Administration page, click the Session Manager tab.
  3. In the Session Manager Instances section, select a Session Manager instance and click Edit.

    System Manager displays the Edit Session Manager page.

  4. From the Avaya Aura Device Services Server Pairing list, select an AADS server.

    When an AADS server is already paired with a Session Manager instance, System Manager does not display that server in the Avaya Aura Device Services Server Pairing list.

  5. Click Commit.
