Configuring a storage destination

You must perform this task only if you plan to use Microsoft Exchange and/or VMware Zimbra as a storage destination. The Avaya message store will automatically be used and no further action is required on this Web page to use the Avaya message store.

For integration with the configured back-end servers, you must configure a storage destination.

Before you begin

Configure the mail host. For more information, see Adding a mailbox gateway.

Procedure

  1. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Messaging System (Storage) > Storage Destinations.

    The system displays the Storage Destinations Web page.

  2. Enter the appropriate information in the fields to define the required service account.

    For more information, see Storage Destinations field descriptions.

  3. Click Save.

    The Messaging system:

    • Tries to log in to the account

    • Checks that a corresponding mailbox has been created for that account

    If either test fails, then the system displays an error.

  4. If the storage properties are saved, you need to restart Messaging for the changes to take effect.

    For more information, see Stopping Messaging and Starting Messaging.
