Avaya Applications Server vs Red Hat VM for Voicemail Pro 11.1 1

[rgunther]

Hello -

​

We are looking at upgrading our IPO500V2 & Voicemail Pro instance from 11.0.4 to 11.1 FP2. Currently our Voicemail pro & One-X Portal instance is on a Windows server 2019 VM - which is no longer supported on 11.1. What is the difference between the Avaya Applications server and what benefit would it have over just turning up a VM with red hat on it for installing the VM Pro 11.1 & One-X rpm's?

Avaya application server for ipo500 is ….voicemail pro and 1x on Linux
So you just need a pc…put the disc in and select voicemail pro..
It will reformat the pc with Linux and install voicemail pro ,1 x.

The later (reusing the rpms) would be highly unlikely to work. You'd be entering a maze of dependencies on all the rpms that would be needed, and also enter a minefield of permissions and quota settings that each expects and uses. Far far simpler to just install as an application server (whether direct on the server or as a VM on whichever platform you have for VMs). Pulling apart Avaya's already packaged images would be a lot of work with a high chance of not working, and all for no apparent benefit.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
