Communication Manager IP IP address of Communication Manager.
noteNote

A unique Communication Manager IP address is required for each Utility Services. If you are not associated with a Communication Manager server, specify a static IP that is in your network range.

Utility Services Mode The mode in which you want to deploy Utility Services. The options are:
  • Full Functionality: Utility Services and services port enabled. The default mode for Appliance Virtualization Platform.

    You can set the mode only during the deployment. You cannot change the mode after the virtual machine is deployed.

  • Utility Services Only: Use to disable routing. Set this mode only for Virtualized Environment. If you set this mode for an Avaya appliance, the services port becomes non-operational.

  • Services Port Only: Deploys Services Port only. Use when the customer already has Utility Services running on another virtual machine and providing the services, or when Utility Services are not required.

    With the services port feature, through a laptop connected to the services port of Appliance Virtualization Platform, you can gain access to Avaya virtual machines and the hypervisor that are deployed.

  • Hardened Mode Services Port Only: Sets up the system for military grade hardening.

noteNote

With Utility Services 7.1.2 onwards, you can apply extended security hardening by selecting one of the following modes only:

  • Services Port Only

  • Hardened Mode services port only

noteNote

For the Solution Deployment Manager client to connect to the services port features of Utility Services, change the IP address to 192.11.13.5 on the computer of the technician

Utility Services can gain access to the hypervisor and all virtual machines through the IP address 192.11.13.6. Utility Services provides application routing between the physical port and virtual applications.

Admin User Password The admin user password.
Confirm Password The confirmation password.
Out of Band Management Mode The Out of Band Management mode in which you want to deploy. The options are as follows:
  • OOBM_Enabled: To enable Out of Band Management.

  • OOBM_Disabled: To disable Out of Band Management.

    noteNote

    OOBM_Disabled is the default setting. If the mode is set to OOBM_Disabled, then you do not need to configure Out of Band Management.
