Changing the AxC IP address

Avaya ships Messaging servers that are set up for a single-server topology. Skip this procedure if you have a single-server topology.

The AxC connects the storage and the application roles. In a single-server topology, these roles are on the same server, and you can use the default settings. However, if you have a topology with more than one server, you must change the default AxC IP address on each dedicated application server.

Use the AxC Address Web page to secure Web services communication between an application server and the associated storage server. However, if this is a single server, that is, the application and storage roles are defined on the same server, then you do not need to make the connection secure as all Web services communication is internal to the server.

ImportantImportant

If your deployment includes more than one server in the application role, only change the AxC IP address for the first server in the site. You can administer the servers for subsequent application roles by backing up the first application role and then restoring the data on to the server for the subsequent application role. See the Initial administration checklist for application roles for information about which procedures are to be done manually on the server and which are done automatically through the backup and restore process.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Advanced (Application) > AxC Address.
  2. In the AxC IP address field, enter the IP address of the storage server.

    By default, the Messaging system populates this field with the IP address of the local host. Ensure that the AxC address is the IP address of the operational AxC server.

  3. To secure (SSL) communication for the communication of Web services with the AxC, click https://.
  4. Click Apply.
