Adding a Session Manager instance

Last Updated : Nov 23, 2023 |

About this task

You can add a Session Manager instance using any of the following options:

  • Session Manager Administration pages.

  • Manage Elements pages.

Important:

If a Version 7 license is installed and the Session Manager server instance count has been reached, the following error message appears after clicking the New button: Cannot add Session Manager instance, maximum instance count reached for license. You cannot administer a new Session Manager beyond the license limit until you install a Version 7 license with a higher limit.

Procedure

  1. To add a Session Manager instance from the Session Manager Administration page:
    1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Session Manager > Session Manager Administration.
    2. Click the Session Manager tab.
    3. Click New.
  2. To add a Session Manager instance from the Manage Elements page:
    1. On the System Manager web console, click Services > Inventory > Manage Elements.
    2. Click New.
    3. From the Type field, select Session Manager.
    4. When the screen refreshes, from Select type of Session Manager to add:, select Core Session Manager.
    5. Click Continue.
  3. On the Add Session Manager page, in the General section, perform the following:
    1. In the SIP Entity Name field, type the name of the Session Manager instance.
    2. Optional In the Description field, type a description for this entity.
    3. In the Management Access Point FQDN/IP field, type the FQDN or IP address of the management interface of the Session Manager server.

      The Management Access Point FQDN/IP field accepts only IPv4 addresses even when you create Session Manager instances for entities supporting IPv6 or Both address families.

    4. From the Direct Routing to Endpoints list, select Enable for direct routing to endpoints.
    5. From the Avaya Aura Device Services Server Pairing drop-down list, select an AADS server.

      AADS is available with Avaya Workplace Client 3.0.

      When an AADS server is already paired with a Session Manager instance, the system does not display that AADS server.

    6. Maintenance Mode is enabled by default. Deselect Maintenance Mode if you are not:

      • Staging a non-operational Session Manager or Branch Session Manager.

      • Pre-administering Session Manager or Branch Session Manager on System Manager prior to host installation.

  4. Specify the appropriate information in the remaining required fields.
  5. Click Commit.
