S8700-series Media Server can be complex. For more information, see Caution
about platform/PNC license settings for the S8700-series Media Server on
page 71.

Important:
Important: If you have a Survivable Remote EPN or Manual Backup Servers (MBS), you can
no longer use them. They cannot be upgraded to Release 3.1. However, you can
migrate the MBSs to Enterprise Survivable Servers (ESSs). For more
information, see Avaya Enterprise Survivable Servers (ESS) User Guide
(03-300428).
!
Important:
Important: You cannot use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the G150 Media Gateway or G250
Media Gateways. You must upgrade the G150 and G250 separately. For more
information, see Installation and Configuration for the Avaya G150 Media
Gateway (03-300395).
Also, if you are upgrading an ESS by itself locally, you cannot use the Upgrade
Tool. Instead, you must follow the procedures in Upgrading Communication
Manager on Avaya S8700-series Media Servers or S8700-series ESS from R2.x/
R3.0 to R3.1 or from R3.1 to R3.1.x Using the Maintenance Web Interface on
page 199.

Survivable Servers (ESSs). You can also use the tool to apply preupgrade and
postupgrade service packs and licenses to the LSPs and ESSs.
● Firmware on the G350 or the G700 Media Gateways and most of the media modules that
are resident in the media gateways.
● Communication Manager and preupgrade and postupgrade service packs and a license
on the primary controller, if the primary controller is already running R2.1 or later.
