Configuration information for System Platform installation

To record the System Platform installation information, print the following table and work with your network administrator to fill the empty cells.

Proxy Configuration

Name	Value	Description
Status		Specifies whether an http proxy should be used to access the Internet, for example, when installing templates, upgrading patches, or upgrading platform.
Address		The address for the proxy server.
Port		The port address for the proxy server.

General Network Settings Configuration

Name	Value	Description
Default Gateway		The default gateway IP address.
Primary DNS		The primary Domain Name System (DNS) server address.
Secondary DNS		(Optional) The secondary DNS server address.
Domain Search List		The search list, which is normally determined from the local domain name. By default, it contains only the local domain name. You can change this by listing the desired domain search path following the search keyword, with spaces or tabs separating the names.
Cdom Hostname		Depending on requirements of your solution template, you may need to enter the host name for Console Domain as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), for example, `SPCdom.mydomainname.com`. Otherwise, just enter the IP address for Console Domain or enter the hostname for Console Domain in non-FQDN format.
Dom0 Hostname		Depending on requirements of your solution template, you may need to enter the host name for System Domain as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), for example, `SPCdom.mydomainname.com`. Otherwise, just enter the IP address for System Domain, or enter the hostname for System Domain in non-FQDN format. When using a Domain Name System (DNS) server in your network, the Dom0 hostname must be FQDN format).
Physical Network Interface		The physical network interface details for eth0 and eth1 (and eth2 in case of High Availability Failover is enabled).
Domain Dedicated NIC		Applications with high network traffic or time-sensitive traffic often have a dedicated NIC. This means the virtual machine connects directly to a physical Ethernet port and typically requires a separate cable connection to the customer network. See template installation topics for more information.
Bridge		The bridge details for the following: avprivate: This is called a private bridge because it does not use any Ethernet interface, so it is strictly internal to the server. The System Platform installer attempts to assign IP addresses that are not in use. avpublic: This bridge uses the Ethernet interface associated with the default route, which is usually eth0, but can vary based on the type of the server. This bridge generally provides access to the LAN for System Platform elements (System Domain (Dom-0) and Console Domain) and for any guest domains that are created when installing a template. The IP addresses specified during System Platform installation are assigned to the interfaces that System Domain (Dom-0) and Console Domain have on this bridge. template bridge: These bridges are created during the template installation and are specific to the virtual machines installed.
Domain Network Interface		The domain network interface details for System Domain (Dom-0) or Console Domain that are grouped by domain based on your selection.

Services Virtual Machine Configuration

Name	Value	Description
Enable Services VM		Enables or disables remote access. Also supports local or centralized alarm reporting. Default value: Enabled Leave the Enable services VM option enabled (checkmark) for remote access and local SAL support, or disabled (no checkmark) if you have a separate server dedicated for independent/centralized remote access and SAL support. In a System Platform High Availability configuration, the active node automatically propagates to the standby node, any change in the setting for this field
Hostname		The name assigned to the Services Virtual Machine
Static IP address		The IP address assigned to the Services Virtual Machine. The address must be on the same subnet assigned to the Domain 0 (dom0) and Console Domain (cdom) virtual machines.
Virtual devices		The virtual device (port) assigned to the Services Virtual Machine. Default value (eth0) automatically assigned. No user input necessary.

Password Configuration

Note

Passwords must be at least six characters long. Use uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters and at least one numeral or special character.

Name	Value	Description
root Password		The password for the root login.
admin Password		The password for the admin login.
cust Password		The password for the cust login.
ldap Password		The password for the ldap login. System Platform uses a local LDAP directory to store login and password details. Use this login and password to log in to the local LDAP directory. This login does not have permissions to access the System Platform Web Console.

Network Time Protocol Configuration

Name	Value	Description
NTP server 1		The hostname or IP address of an NTP server, visible in the Web Console when you click Query State in theDate and Time Configuration page, under Server Management. When displayed, either of the following special characters precede each server hostname or IP address. Each character has a special meaning, as follows: Asterisk character (*): The preferred server (currently referenced by the local system), chosen by System Platform. Plus character (+): Indicates a high-quality candidate for the reference time that System Platform can use if its currently selected time source becomes unavailable. Avaya preconfigures several server names prior to system delivery. You can add more NTP reference servers by clicking Add in theDate and Time Configuration page under Server Management.
NTP server 2
NTP server 3
NTP server 4
