Last Updated : Jan 13, 2023 |

About this task

This procedure is required for both preloaded or prelicensed Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 and fresh install on Avaya Solutions Platform S8300.

Use this procedure to add an Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 Release 5.1.x host. You can associate an Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 Release 5.1.x and later host with an existing location.

Note:

Select ASP 130/S8300 in Platform Type on the Platforms tab to add an Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Release 5.1 host in the SDM Application Management.

Before you begin

  • If Appliance Virtualization Platform that was migrated to Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 Release 5.1.x is available in Solution Deployment Manager on the Platforms tab, remove that Appliance Virtualization Platform and add the Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 Release 5.1.x host.

  • Regenerate the self-signed certificate using the FQDN.

    See "Regenerating Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 self-signed certificate with FQDN using the command line interface”.

  • If you are connected to the Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 host through the services port using the SDM client, perform the following:

    1. Edit the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file in your laptop to add the IP Address and FQDN of the host.

    2. Add the host in the format 192.11.13.6 <changed FQDNname>

      For example: 192.11.13.6 esxihost6.hostdomain.com

  • Add Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 host to an existing location or associate it with a new location.

  • Install a valid license file on the Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 host.

Procedure

  1. To add an Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 host using System Manager SDM or SDM client, choose one of the following:

    • For System Manager SDM, on the System Manager web console, click Services > Solution Deployment Manager > Application Management.

      On the desktop, click the SDM icon (Icon used to open the Solution Deployment Manager client dashboard), and then click Application Management.

    • For SDM client, on the SDM Client web console, click Application Management.

  2. In Application Management Tree, select an existing location or add a new location.
  3. On the Platforms tab, in the Platforms for Selected Location <location name> section, click Add.
  4. In the New Platform section, do the following:
    1. Provide details of Platform name, Platform FQDN, username, and password.

      For Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 deployment, you can also provide the root username.

    2. In Platform Type, select ASP 130/S8300.
  5. Click Save.

    The Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 certificate is updated based on the platform FQDN.

After adding an Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 host using System Manager SDM or SDM client, perform the following:

  1. Deploy the required virtual machines.
  2. In the Certificate dialog box, click Accept Certificate.

    System Manager generates the certificate and adds the Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 host.

    In the Application Management Tree, System Manager displays the new host in the specified location and discovers applications.

Next Steps

  1. In Application Management Tree, establish trust for all the virtual machines deployed on the host.

  2. Ensure that System Manager populates the Application Name and Application Version for each virtual machine.
