To enable an Avaya Aura Session Manager (SM) to be administered and maintained in a SIP Domain, which step must be performed?

Avaya Aura® System Manager (SMGR) is the centralized management platform for the Avaya Aura® core. To enable SMGR to perform administration, configuration, and maintenance tasks on a Session Manager (SM), the SM must first be added to the SMGR inventory. The formal term for an Aura component that is managed by SMGR is a "Managed Element." This step establishes a trust relationship and allows SMGR to synchronize data and push configurations to the Session Manager instance.

A. Add SM as an Instance: While you are adding a specific Session Manager instance, the correct and formal term within the System Manager for this administrative object is "Managed Element."

B. Add SM as a Serviceability Agent: A Serviceability Agent (or SAL Agent) is related to the Secure Access Link (SAL) Gateway for remote alarming and support access, not for core administration from System Manager.

D. Check the Enable box on the SM Entity page: A SIP Entity is a component that Session Manager communicates with (e.g., Communication Manager, gateway). This is a configuration within Session Manager, not the step to make Session Manager itself manageable.
