Migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms

Chapter 5: Migrating to an Avaya S8500 Media
Server
This chapter describes how to migrate from existing DEFINITY systems to the Avaya S8500
Media Server.
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.
Migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms
Use these procedures to migrate from existing DEFINITY systems to the Avaya S8500 Media
Server with limited out-of-service time. The existing systems must be standard reliability and
direct connect. You cannot migrate systems that use a center stage switch (CSS) or
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). In all instances, the cabinets can be reused as port
networks (PNs). You do not need a G650 Media Gateway. However, you can add a G650 Media
Gateway PN if the existing system has only one or two port networks.
You can migrate the following existing systems:
● DEFINITY Server SI in a single carrier cabinet (SCC) or multicarrier cabinet (MCC). You
can migrate only the Direct-Connect configurations
● DEFINITY Server CSI in a compact modular cabinet (CMC). You can migrate only the
IP-PNC configurations
● DEFINITY ONE in a CMC. You can migrate only the IP-PNC configurations.
● Avaya IP600/S8100 in a G600. You can migrate only the IP-PNC configurations.
