Migrations
A migration is a change in hardware. The types of migration include a:
● non-Linux-based system to a Linux-based media server
● Linux-based media server to a different Linux-based media server
● media gateway to a different media gateway
An upgrade usually accompanies a migration
The most common migrations are from non-Linux-based systems to Linux-based media
servers. Non-Linux-based systems include systems such as the DEFINITY ONE/S8100. Less
common migrations include migrations from one Linux-based media server to another. Not all
non-Linux-based systems can migrate to a Linux-based media server. Whether you can migrate
a system depends on the supported migration path. A migration path refers to the platform and
the software release from which you can migrate to the new platform.
To migrate a system, you need a new license file. You cannot migrate a license file as part of a
hardware migration. You must use Remote Feature Activation (RFA) to generate a brand new
license.
This section describes the migrations from existing DEFINITY systems to the Avaya S8400,
S8500, or S8700-Series Media Servers.
This section includes:
● Migration paths
● Migration hardware
● Prerequisites
If you are migrating to an S8400 Media Server, see S8400 Media Server
on page 298.
If you are migrating to an S8500 Media Server, see S8500 Media Server
on page 299.
If you are migrating to an S8700-Series Media Server, see S8700.
