Checklist for deploying a single-server Presence Services cluster

Last Updated : Mar 21, 2021 |
Prolog information
Prerequisites
You must have the following before deploying Presence Services:
  • VMware ESXi installed on a server with a host IP address assigned. For the recommended VMware ESXi version, see Deploying Avaya Breeze® platform or use Avaya Virtualization Platform.
  • Session Manager requires a Listen Port with the Listen Port as 5061, Protocol as TLS, and Default Domain as the login domain of endpoint devices. Without this, PPM will fail for SIP endpoints. For more information, see Administering Avaya Aura® Session Manager.
    Note:
    If you want to deploy Avaya Breeze® platform using IPv6, log on to System Manager and go to ElementSession ManagerGlobal Settings, and enable the IPv6 field.
    Ensure that you select the Endpoints check box for the Listen Port. For more information, see Presence and IM fails on SIP endpoints due to the PPM getHomeCapabilities fault.
In the following checklist, s refers to the number of deployed Session Managers.

No.
Task
Reference
1
Administer DNS A record to resolve Avaya Breeze® platform hostname to Avaya Breeze® platform Management Module IP address.
2
Administer DNS A record to resolve System Manager hostname to IP address.
3
Administer DNS A record to resolve Presence Services Cluster FQDN to Avaya Breeze® platform Security Module IP address.
Do not add a reverse lookup or associated pointer (PTR) record for this address.
4
Administer a DNS A record to resolve the Avaya Breeze® platform Security Module FQDN. The FQDN must be in the following format: <management-hostname>-sm100.domain. For example, mybreeze101-sm100.mycorp.com, where the FQDN of the management address is mybreeze101.mycorp.com.
Also, add a reverse lookup or associated pointer (PTR) record for this IP address.
Note:
This task applies when you deploy Avaya Breeze® platform using IPv6. For example, breeze245211-sm100.aam3.com will resolve IPV6 : fc00:fc00:fc00:245::212. In this example, IP fc00:fc00:fc00:245::212 is the security IP, and security IPV6 is same as security IPV4.
