Migrating hardware
The information in this section is based on the assumption that the media server complex is
installed, configured, and operational.
DEFINITY Server SI in an MCC
When you migrate an existing DEFINITY Server SI in a multicarrier cabinet (MCC), you use one
TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack to control from one to three port networks (PNs). Avaya
recommends that you install the IPSI in the A carrier in the existing processor port network
(PPN) instead of in one of the expansion port networks (EPNs). But before installing the IPSI,
you must convert the PPN to a PN. This process requires that you:
● Replace the processor control carrier with an expansion control carrier.
● Remove all the control circuit packs.
This migration affects service because you must turn off the PPN to replace the carrier. Before
you turn off the cabinet, you must perform some premigration administration.
