Verifying the functionality of System Manager

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

To ensure that System Manager is operational after the upgrade, verify that the installation of System Manager is successful.

After upgrading System Manager from Release 7.0.x to Release 7.1.x and later, System Manager applies the hashing on the password by using secure sha2-based algorithms. Therefore, administrative users must reset the password before accessing the System Manager web console.

When you promote an end user to an administrator, the system resets the password to the login name of the user.

Procedure

  1. To log on to the System Manager web console, in the web browser, type https://<fully qualified domain name of System Manager>/SMGR.
  2. Click the settings icon (Settings icon that links to About, Help, Change Password, Log off ), click About, and verify that the system displays the version number of System Manager with the highest build number for the release.
  3. On the upgraded system, verify that the number of users and custom roles matches the number of users and custom roles that you recorded before the upgrade.

    For more information about managing users and custom roles, see Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager.

  4. Verify that you can perform the following tasks correctly:

    • Creation and deletion of a user

    • Creation of a role

    • Creation of a job

    • Creation of the remote data backup

    • Replication of the data by using Data Replication Service (DRS)

      Note:

      Data Replication synchronization between System Manager, Session Manager and other elements is an automatic process after the upgrade where no manual intervention is required. Do not run any commands on the Session Manager or other elements for repairing the nodes. If you have large number of nodes (more than 50 nodes), the system repairs the nodes one by one, and takes longer time to repair the nodes.
