Use this task to upload an Avaya Aura® Media Server (MS) OVA file when you are using Solution Deployment Manager (SDM) in System Manager to deploy the VM. Alternatively, you can use the SDM Client application, which you download and install on your Windows® computer.
You must transfer an Avaya Aura® Media Server (MS) OVA file to System Manager before you can deploy it using SDM. The OVA file must be added to a software library on the system. OVA files are staged on System Manager and then a library that you specify pulls the staged file in from the staging area. The OVA file is available for deployment after it is in a software library.
Note:
You can deploy and delete an Avaya Aura® Media Server (MS) VM using SDM, but you cannot use SDM to update, patch, or manage Avaya Aura® Media Server (MS). Instead, manage Avaya Aura® Media Server (MS) using the update, backup, and restore procedures in this document.
