Pre-Installation Tasks

Before installing Avaya Integrated Management products, you must complete the following pre-installation tasks.

1.Check the minimum hardware and software requirements for the Windows server (see ‘‘Windows Server Requirements’’ on page 10).

2.Check that all previous sequential upgrades and/or major releases were installed before installing this release. If the wizard detects a software upgrade that is not sequential, the wizard will stop and display a message to install the skipped releases. The wizard will then abort the installation.

3.Carefully review Avaya Integrated Management Planning and Implementation, document number 555-233-680. This document is available from the Avaya Support Web site (see “How to Access Books on the Web” on page 4). This document describes server configuration requirements and provides pre-installation forms that must be completed before you begin installing the Avaya Integrated Management products. The pre-installation forms contain information that you will need to install the products, such as IP addresses, server domain names, and port addresses.

4.HP OpenView (Optional). If you plan to run HP OpenView, you must install HP OpenView on the Windows server before you install the Network Management applications. When HP OpenView is present, the Network Management Console is not available, and HP OpenView acts as the launch point for the applications and device managers.

Note: HP OpenView is not included in any of the Integrated Management offers. Customers must purchase and maintain HP OpenView separately. Avaya Services does not support HP OpenView or other third party products.

5.Carefully review this entire book before you start the installations on the servers and client PCs.
