need technical assistance or support, call the Technical Service
Center’s Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at 1.800.643. 2353.

Due to configuration complexities, we strongly recommend that you seek professional
installation services for the following VisAbility applications: Avaya Directory Enabled
Management, Avaya MultiVantage Configuration Manager, Avaya MultiVantage Fault and
Performance Manager, and Avaya MultiVantage Proxy Agent. If you choose to install a
VisAbility application or the VisAbility suite yourself and you encounter difficulties, contact

3. Complete the appropriate VMS00x Administration Request forms.

These forms contain the information that you will need to install the products,
including: IP addresses, server domain names, and port addresses. Your Avaya client
executive downloads this form from an internal Avaya web site and completes it with
your input. The VMS001 form must be completed for installations of Avaya
MultiVantage Fault and Performance Manager or Avaya MultiVantage Proxy Agent.
The VMS002 form must be completed for installations of Avaya MultiVantage
Configuration Manager. The VMS003 form must be completed for installations of
Avaya Directory Enabled Management.

4. If you are installing any applications that have installation and configuration guides,
then print the guides.

Installation and configuration guides exist for VisAbility Management Suite
applications that are complex to install or configure. See “Additional Resources” on

page 6 of this document for a list. These guides explain how to install and set up

selected applications within the suite. You can print the guides any of the following
ways:

— From the Support Centre web site, Product Documentation area (see ‘‘How to Get

This Book on the Web’’ on page 7).

— From the installation autorun menu.

This release of the Avaya VisAbility Management Suite runs on Linux RedHat 7.3. If your
Linux-based computer is running an earlier version of RedHat, you must upgrade before
installing the suite.

Before you upgrade, make a copy of the file /etc/services. After you upgrade, paste the
file in its original directory. This process ensures that the RedHat settings that were specified
during the original RedHat installation are preserved. The Avaya VisAbility Management
Suite needs only a subset of the standard RedHat services. Copying and replacing this services
file ensures that only the necessary services are turned on.

For instructions on upgrading your RedHat operating system, consult your RedHat
documentation or contact your preferred system administration group.

Security Alert: During the installation, the installation wizard turns off the

internal firewall around the Linux server. This allows internal
users to telnet to the Linux server and to use their web browser
to access the Windows client shortcuts. Do not turn on the
internal Linux firewall after the installation. The customer's
network firewall provides the needed security to prohibit access
to the Linux server from outsiders.
