Migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms

Chapter 6: Migrating to an Avaya S8700-Series
Media Server
This chapter describes how to migrate from an existing DEFINITY and Linux system to the
Avaya S8700-Series 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 and Linux platforms to the Avaya
S8700-Series Media Server configuration with limited time out-of-service. The S8710 or S8720
Media Server can be either a fiber-port network connectivity (PNC) configuration or an IP-PNC
configuration or both.
Note:
Note: Once you complete the migration to fiber-PNC, you can convert to IP-PNC. See
Converting PNs to IP-PNC
on page 1041.
You can migrate the following existing systems to an S8700-Series Media Serve. r:
● DEFINITY Server R in a multicarrier cabinet (MCC)
● DEFINITY Server SI in a single carrier cabinet (SCC) or a multicarrier cabinet (MCC)
● Avaya IP600 (S8100) in a G600 Media Gateway
● DEFINITY ONE (S8100) in a compact modular cabinet (CMC)
● DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC
You can migrate the following existing Linux systems to an S8700-Series Media Server:
● S8500
● S8700
