Preupgrade service pack for upgrades starting from R2.x only
An upgrade from R2.x of Communication Manager requires a preupgrade service pack,
depending on which software load the media server is on. For more information about the
software load that is associated with each release, see Software release and load
on page 201.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If the server has a Release 2.x field load other than those listed in the table, do
not use this section to upgrade the server. You must escalate.
Upgrade of H.248 media gateways, LSPs and ESSs, if being used
Note:
Note: Do not perform these tasks and go to Connecting to the active media server on
page 210 if the customer has none of the following network elements:
- H.248 media gateways
- Enterprise Survivable Servers (ESSs)
- Local survivable processors (LSPs)
You must upgrade Communication Manager on the S8300 and S8500 LSPs before you
upgrade Communication Manager on the primary controller. If the configuration uses G250,
G350, or G700 Media Gateways, you must upgrade them to the latest firmware. If the media
server supports ESSs, you must upgrade the ESSs before you upgrade the primary controller.
