The Upgrade Linux on Your Server section is now a subsection of the Upgrade to a Supported Version of Linux section. The Resolve Any RPM Installation Dependencies section was broken into two sections: Resolve Any Oracle Linux 6 Install Dependencies and Resolve Any Oracle Linux 7 Install Dependencies. The Specify NNCentral User Privileges section was changed because syntax was changed in the configuration. A note was added to the Check System Requirements section that says OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips or later must be installed on your linux server in order to use the HTTPS service on the Apache web server.
Typical Installation	The Install a New Standalone Server, Install a New SDM Cluster, Upgrade a SDM Standalone Server, and Upgrade a SDM Cluster sections were added. The Typical Installation section was updated to include a summary of high-level tasks. The Select the Typical Installation was renamed to the Start the Typical Installation section, and was changed to exclude information about Oracle Communications Application Orchestrator because this product is not supported in SDM Release 8.0. A note was added to the Configure Web Server Security section that says OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips or later must be installed on your Linux server in order to use the HTTPS service on the Apache web server. The Start the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager Server section was renamed to Start the Server after a Standalone Installation and the Start the Server after a Cluster Installation was added.

The Configure Southbound Interface Transport Layer Security section was renamed to Configure Transport Layer Security Certificates and updated. The SDM server can use a single secure sockets layer (SSL) key store of entity or trusted certificates to authenticate Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to all southbound interface (SBI) applications, product plugins, and their respective network function device(s) when TLS communication is required. The Implement SDM Server Clusters section was added and the Cluster Requirements subsection was added to it. The existing Configure Clusters section and its respective subsections were moved under this section.
