Before you perform the configuration tasks that are outlined in this section, review the deployment considerations described in the VMware Smart Assurance VoIP Management Suite Overview and Integration Guide and the compatibility requirements described in the VMware Smart Assurance VoIP Management Suite Release Notes.

The following sections highlight the configuration tasks associated with the setup of the application components in a VoIP Availability Manager deployment. These tasks involve configuring the VoIP Availability Manager, IP Availability Manager, Global Manager, Adapter Platform, and Business Impact Manager applications that are part of the deployment.

Some configuration tasks are performed before the applications are started, such as the editing of configuration files, and some are performed through the Global Console when the applications are up and running.
