Ready the Data Center for an SBM Deployment
Domain Administrator Tasks
Add Test Users for the SBM’s Health Monitoring Pool
(Recommended)
The SBM Setup Wizard includes a test that verifies that branch Lync users can
successfully place calls through the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). To generate the test calls, the SBM draws on the user accounts within
its Health Monitoring pool. Although the pool can use existing user accounts,
it is best practice to create test users just for the pool.
Create two test user objects, setting them up as you would objects for typical
users at the branch office.
Create a DHCP Reservation for the SBM
(Recommended)
If you want to use a DHCP server to assign a fixed IP address to the SBM,
create the reservation before the installation.
The SBM has two Ethernet interfaces, but it typically uses Ethernet interface
2. (Interface 1 is disabled at the factory default settings.)
To find the MAC address for the reservation, view the MAC address listed on
the label on the underside of the module. This is the MAC address of Ethernet
interface 1; the MAC address of Ethernet interface 2 is this address incre-
mented by one.
Note After the SBM is installed, the SBM administrator can find the MAC address
by entering show ip in the SBM OS CLI, which is accessed through the host HP
switch CLI. (For information about how to access the SBM OS CLI and enter
the show ip command, see the HP Survivable Branch Communication zl
Module powered by Microsoft Lync™ Installation and Getting Started
Guide.) However, it is recommended that you create the DHCP reservation
before the SBM is installed.
Create a DNS Entry for the SBM (Optional)
You might want your SBM administrator to be able to initially access the SBM’s
Setup Wizard from the SBM’s hostname rather than its IP address. If so, you
must create a DNS entry that maps the SBM’s hostname to its fixed IP address.
The initial hostname is the SBM’s serial number, which is on the module’s label.
The serial number begins with the letters SG. For example, if the SBM’s serial
number is SG0000A001, the initial hostname would be SG0000A001.
