Last week we installed the Avaya System Manager. Now we will go to the Session Manager Server. This is the Redhat Kickstart DVD procedure. You will load this on a separate server than the one you just loaded  System Manager on (make sure you have a monitor and keyboard attached as this will be your only way to initially interact with the sesman until you do the SMnetSetup in a later step).

1. Insert SM Kickstart DVD into the DVD tray and restart server by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
2. Disk will popout when the install is complete.
3. At the command prompt login using craft/craft01.
4. Type ls to list files.

   5. Domain: FQDN
   6. DNS: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
6. After the last input press enter and then enter again.
7. At the timezone selection screen choose Chicago, then highlight okay and press enter.
8. Verify date… press enter.

10. At the yes (y) prompt press enter.
11. Time and date has been set enter y, then press enter.

17. Press Enter to complete the installation of the base Linux.
18. Press y then enter when prompted to reboot (disk will popout).
19. After reboot log back in using craft/craft01.
20. Then su – sroot/sroot01.
21. Insert SM6.1 disk into drive.
22. Type cd /dev, then press enter.
23. Type mount cdrom /cdrom then press enter (will show as read only).
24. Type cd /cdrom, press enter, then ls to list files.

28. Press enter to continue install. After install is completed, the command prompt will return. Log back in using craft/craft01.
29. Type eject to remove CD.

This will assist you in setting up your System and Session Manager systems. You will, of course, have to use addressing and names that are applicable to your network. This does not address ME templates. I will cover that in another post.
