Upgrading Software on Media Servers
72 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Guidelines
● For a new installation or migration, the licensed platform type should always be 8700
Media Server MC (platform 6).
● For an upgrade, the licensed platform type of the server must remain the same. If the
platform type is 8700 Media Server IP (platform 8) before the upgrade, the platform type
must be 8700 Media Server IP (platform 8) after the upgrade. If the platform type is 8700
Media Server MC (platform 6) before the upgrade, the type must be 8700 Media Server
MC (platform 6) after the upgrade.
● Effective with CM 3.0, Internet Protocol (IP) PNC (FEAT_IP_PNC in the RFA license file) is
always to set to OFF. After you install, migrate to, or upgrade the server, then this attribute
should appear as n (no) in the display-only Internet Protocol (IP) PNC field on page 4 of
the Communication Manager Customer Options screen.
Note:
Note: The Internet Protocol (IP) PNC (FEAT_IP_PNC license attribute, before release
3.0, restricted port network connectivity (PNC) for each of the platforms. The OFF
setting previously restricted MC (platform 6) platforms from using IP-PNC. The
ON setting previously restricted IP (platform 8) platforms from using MC-PNC
configurations. With release 3.0, both of these restrictions were lifted.
1. Use for all new installations and migrations. Required for upgrades of an S8700-series Media Server that was a
fiber-PNC or MC (platform 6) configuration before the upgrade.
2. This attribute, before release 3.0, restricted the ability to configure a network with both IP-PNC and fiber-PNC port
networks and to configure SCC1 and MCC1 PNs using IP-PNC only. For all upgrades, migrations, and installations to
release 3.0 and later, these restrictions have been lifted for both platforms. Thus, this field is no longer applicable and
should be set as OFF.
3. Required, and used only, for upgrades of an S8700-series Media Server that was an IPC (platform 8) configuration
before the upgrade.
