Deploying an OVA file for an Avaya Aura® application

About this task

Use the procedure to create a virtual machine on the ESXi host, and deploy OVA for an Avaya Aura® application on the virtual machine.

To deploy an Avaya Aura® application, you can use Solution Deployment Manager from System Manager or the Solution Deployment Manager client if System Manager is unavailable.

Deploy Utility Services first, and then deploy all other applications one at a time.
