Installing an Avaya Aura Device Services cluster

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

About this task

Use this procedure to install an Avaya Aura® Device Services cluster.

Before you begin

Ensure that you understand the Avaya Aura® Device Services prerequisites. The prerequisites for installing an Avaya Aura® Device Services cluster are the same as for installing an individual Avaya Aura® Device Services server.

Note:
The Avaya Aura® Device Services cluster must be installed by a Linux user with sudo privileges, created during the pre-configuration setup. The User ID (UID) of the Linux user that performs the installation must be the same on all the Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes. After a user is configured, run the following command to display the ID of the user: 
id -u <user_name>
For example: 
id -u Avaya

Procedure

  1. Install the initial node.

    For more information, see Installing Avaya Aura Device Services.

  2. Install one or more additional nodes.
    Important:

    Proceed with the next steps only after installing all the Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes.

  3. After all the required cluster nodes are installed, configure the SSH/RSA Public/Private keys on the seed node.

    For more information, see Configuring RSA public and private keys for SSH connections in a cluster.

  4. Optional Start every node in the cluster individually.
    Using a Linux shell for each Avaya Aura® Device Services server in the cluster, run the following command: 
    svc aads start
