This document describes the SW installation and initial configuration of the MX-ONE.
The installation can be of the following three types:
Turnkey solution
The customer has bought both server and SW from Mitel. Mitel provides the operating system SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 (SLES 12 SP4 x86_64) and containing the MX-ONE Software included on Recovery Image.
SW Only
The customer provides its own SLES 12 SP4 x86_64 compatible Server and Operating System, OS (SLES 12 SP4 x86_64) including Linux support subscription. Mitel provides a Media Kit containing the MX-ONE Software. OS needs to be installed on the server(s). For details, see SW Only Installation on page 12.The hardware clock of the server must also be set to a rather accurate value.
Virtual Appliance
A virtual appliance is a virtual machine image designed to run on a virtualization platform. The MX-ONE Service Node Virtual appliance includes the Operating System (SLES 12 SP4 x86_64) and the MX-ONE Software.
A template file with all settings needed for a new virtual machine is included on the Recovery Image, use the media to install the operating system and application.
The MX-ONE Service Node Virtual Appliance runs on top of a VMware infrastructure, vSphere ESXi 5.5 hypervisor (minimum).
This means that of the ASUs, onlyASU-II supports virtualization, and ASU-II only supports vSphere ESXi 5.5 (up to U3), i.e. no later versions.
Note that Mitel does not supply any VMware software together with the MX-ONE Service Node.
