System Manager provides the following network interfaces:
The regular eth0 interface that was present in releases earlier than System Manager Release 7.1.3, is called the Management interface or Out of Band Management interface. The IP address is called as the Management IP address. The Management interface is mandatory for configuration.
The following are the examples of System Manager Management network traffic:
Database replication with Session Manager
Element management. For example, Session Manager, Communication Manager, and Avaya Breeze™.
User management
Solution deployment, upgrades, and software patch install
If Out of Band Management is enabled, then the public interface is configured with Public IP address and used for the nonmanagement traffic. This is an optional configuration.
The following are the examples of System Manager nonmanagement or public network traffic:
End-user self-provisioning
Client devices getting certificates through SCEP
Tenant Management
Out of Band Management configuration persists across System Manager upgrades, updates, and restarts.
For configuring Out of Band Management in System Manager, System Manager must be installed on an Appliance Virtualization Platform host that is configured with Out of Band Management. Out of Band Management is enabled during the deployment of Appliance Virtualization Platform.
 | Note |
|
Once OOBM is enabled on System Manager, public interface eth1 is no longer reachable using ping command from other systems that are present in a public network. However, System Manager can reach other systems on a public interface. |
When you configure Geographic Redundancy, provide Management network details only. Validation fails if you configure Geographic Redundancy with Public network details. In Geographic Redundancy setup, you do not disable or enable Out of Band Management on both primary and secondary System Manager virtual machine. You can enable Out of Band Management on the primary System Manager virtual machine and disable Out of Band Management on the secondary System Manager virtual machine, and vice versa.
While restoring backup on System Manager with different Out of Band Management network details, the restore operation fails at validation phase.
By default, the Multi Tenancy feature is disabled on System Manager when Out of Band Management is enabled. You must enable Multi Tenancy on Out of Band Management-enabled System Manager for the Tenant Management administrator to manage tenant users.
