Existing ESS server to Main server
Issue 1.1 June 2005 135
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Be careful to never have two Main servers connected to the LAN/WAN at the
same time.
3. Confirm that the media server to be converted is running Communication Manager 3.0 or
later software.
● On the Maintenance Web Interface click Software Version under the Server
heading.
If the media server is not running Communication Manager 3.0 or later software, upgrade
the media server(s). See, Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and
Gateways, 03-300412 for the procedure to upgrade the media server.
4. If the media server is a duplex pair (
S8700 | 8710) busy out the standby server.
5. Install a new license file with the appropriate settings for the Main server. See License
files on page 110 for more information. This license file should probably use the same IPSI
serial number that the previous license file used unless the media server is physically
moved and another IPSI is now logically closer.
The new license file should have the following attributes:
● Enterprise Survivable Server set to n.
● ESS Administration set to Y.
● A Module ID (MID) of 1: The MID is referred to as the Cluster ID (CLID) by the ESS
feature. This value is set by the license file and cannot be administered in
Communication Manager. Each server in a duplex pair (S8700/S8710) will have the
same CLID. A Main server always has the MID of 1.
● A System ID (SID): The SID is unique to the system configuration. The Main server and
all ESS servers will have the same SID.
6. Execute this step for
S8500 and S8700 | 8710 active media servers.
Run the Configure Server command from the Maintenance Web Interface. Select the
Configure Individual Services method.
a. Choose - Set Server Identities:
- Enter a unique Server ID (SVID) in the ID field. A single SVID is required for a
S8500
media server and two unique SVIDs are required for a
S8700 | 8710 server pair. This ID
must be between 1 and 99. Usually the Main servers are set to SVID 1 and 2.
Gaps in the numbering are allowed (10, 20, 30, . . .) but servers may also be
consecutively numbered.
-Click Continue and verify the IP Addresses.
b. Choose - Configure ESS from the left margin.
- Select: This is NOT an enterprise survivable server.
7. For
S8700 | 8710 media server perform the same configuration activities as step 6 for the
standby media server.
