Can create an enviroment of Avaya in ESXi Virtualized or other platforms?

if anyone did. Thanks a lot

In my test lab, I have one Dell r610 with 2 6 core processors and 24gb ram. Running on the server I have the following.

Avaya Simplex Servers
Avaya Duplex Servers
Avaya Aura Messaging
WebLM
Utility servers
Presence servers
Enablement servers
I might be forgetting some others.


I have multiple of each one for different testing I have done in the past, all of these work very well on this server. I also have on my workstation running vmware workstation with System Platform installed and some templates installed on it for testing. (System Platform will not install correctly in ESXi, so I had to use Vmware Workstation)

In total I have about 25 - 30 VMs running on this sever. Of course it is not on 24/7 as it is only for learning and testing.

All the 6.x stuff or at least most of it has an OVA ready for VMWare. I use my test environment in VMWare every day. I still keep a physical media gateway for DSPs but otherwise its all in a single box.

x10sll+-f
xeon e3-1230 v3
16gb of RAM (need more )
some storage

Yes I forgot to mention that, I have a Avaya G250 I got off ebay farily cheap, like $40.00 or something. Needed it for media resources.

Thanks a lot!!! how to make to emulate SIP trunks/Calls or DS1-T1?

 

[dialtonebone]

Emulating SIP trunks?

Just create a trunk to a Session Manager and you've emulated a sip trunk.

or get some trunks from a DID SIP provider online - very cheap.

How are you dealing with the license file/auth file challenge, assuming you didn't purchase your own licensed CM?

 

[dialtonebone]

auth file is easy - just go generate one in RFA (or if 7.0 use the built in one)
License files... are more difficult. You either need to purchase one ($$$) or find an Avaya lab license (talk to Avaya). or just reinstall every 30 days.

 

[wpetilli]

RFA requires you to be a BP or Avaya employee. Been fighting that one for a long time. I know about the reinstall every 30 days to avoid the license file.

 

[dialtonebone]

wpetilli - back when I was a customer I could get a auth file through a support. Open an SR and see if they will generate you one.

 

[wpetilli]

Thanks, will give that a shot. I did go into PLDS and where I downloaded the CM SW was another link for default authentication file. Will that suffice?

 

[dialtonebone]

It will if it matches the major version (and maybe even it doesn't... never tried)
