Avaya POM Installation


Before starting a POM installation, here's a list of items to consider:

EPM Web Console

  • Hostname or IP Address

  • Admin credentials

  • Ddadmin creds for internal app server

  • Outbound routing for PSTN calls

EPM Host Access (ssh)

  • Cust credentials

  • Root credentials (or cust is in sudoers file)

  • Software available in cust home directory

DB Server

  • External DB required for production setup

  • POM database (dev 1G, grow by 10%, prod, must be sized)

    • Set READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT = true

    mssql: ALTER DATABASE SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON

  • POM operations database (dev 1G, grow by 10%, prod, must be sized)

    • Set READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT = false

    mssql: ALTER DATABASE SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT OFF

  • Database owner credentials for creating tables in both databases

    • Service account that DOESN'T EXPIRE (we don’t want the system to stop working 30 days after we are complete).

DBA Notes – MSSQL

  • Set tempdb to auto grow.

  • Ensure the disk has enough free space.

  • Set tempdb initial size reasonably. It is recommended that it should be 1/3 of DB size. Eg. In our lab, we kept DB size is 86 GB, so TempDB size should be 30 GB.

  • If possible, put tempdb on its separate disk.

  • Set the recovery model of tempdb to SIMPLE. This model automatically reclaims log space.

Application Server

  • Required for production setup.

  • Admin credentials

  • Either Windows, RHEL or CentOS

POM Installation

  • For the POM install, anything important to offer as an option?

    • Default install location (uses ~ 500M, will generate plenty of logs)
  • DB Installation

    • Geo Redundancy - this can be enabled afterwards.

    • Encrypted DB Connection?

    • Avaya Environment

      • CC Elite

        • Most Common, predictive dialer features, if ever needed

        • Monitoring skills requires RT Sockets licensing and configuration (outside of scope)

      • Oceana

        • "next-generation" customer engagement solution
      • AACC

        • Avaya Blue, older, unlikely
      • None

        • Perhaps an option, it doesn't hurt to install CC Elite and leave it unconfigured.
