After the deployment of the Avaya Aura Device Services (AADS) virtual machine, where are the initial installation steps carried out?

Question

Options

• Afrom the Device Services page in Avaya Aura System Manager (SMGR)
• Bfrom Solution Deployment Manager (SDM)
• Cfrom the AADS Web interface
• Dfrom the AADS command-line, using the AADS Installation Utility

Explanation

After deploying the AADS virtual machine, initial installation steps are performed through Solution Deployment Manager (SDM), which serves as the centralized orchestration tool for deploying and configuring Avaya Aura components - making it the correct entry point immediately post-deployment.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (SMGR Device Services page) - SMGR is used for ongoing administration and management of devices after AADS is fully installed and integrated, not for initial setup.
• C (AADS Web interface) - The AADS web UI becomes accessible only after initial configuration is complete; you can't use it to bootstrap the installation itself.
• D (AADS CLI / Installation Utility) - While CLI tools exist for AADS, the structured post-deployment initialization workflow is driven through SDM, not a standalone command-line utility.

Memory tip: Think of SDM as the "launch control" for all Avaya Aura VMs - any time you see "just deployed a VM, what's next?", the answer almost always points back to SDM before any product-specific UI or CLI is involved.
