Last Updated : Dec 22, 2025 |

This document outlines the procedures for deploying Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise (Avaya SBC) applications on Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance R6.0.x.

ASP 130 R6.0.x uses Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.10.

Background

In June 2024, Broadcom discontinued its Embedded OEM program. This decision affected Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance and Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 solutions, as Avaya was an Embedded OEM partner of VMware. Therefore, Avaya needed to identify a new hypervisor.

Avaya introduced KVM on RHEL 8.10 in the Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance R6.0.x program. In addition to the new hypervisor, this release also introduced an updated server hardware platform based on Dell R660xs.

All Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance R6.0.x solutions (Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance and Avaya Solutions Platform S8300) now ship with the new KVM. Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance R6.0.x does not support ESXi. For more information, see PSN020640u - Avaya Solutions Platform R6.0.x Introduction.

Note:

  • Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance R6.0.x with KVM on RHEL 8.10 supports Avaya SBC server KVM-specific images only.

  • Do not deploy KVM-specific images on customer-provided KVM environments, including those based on RHEL.

  • This document is specific to Avaya SBC R10.2 for Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Appliance R6.0.x (KVM on RHEL 8.10).
