Migrating an S8500 Media Server to an S8710 Media Server
874 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
On the S8500 Media Server:
● Shutting down the S8500 Media Server on page 887
● Disconnecting the cables on page 888
Premigration administration
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: The licensing of the platform and port network connectivity attributes for the
S8700-series Media Server can be complex. See Caution about platform/PNC
license settings for the S8700-series Media Server on page 314 and License and
Avaya authentication files on page 313.
Verifying hardware
Ensure that you have the conversion specific hardware on hand. You can reuse some of the
equipment and cables when you migrate from an S8500 Media Server to an S8710 or S8720
Media Server. However, you need new equipment to complete the migration.
Upgrading G150, G350 or G700 Media Gateways and local
survivable processors (if being used)
Note:
Note: If the customer has no G150, G350 or G700 Media Gateways or no local
survivable processors (LSPs), skip these tasks and go to On the active S8700
Media Server on page 902.
If the configuration is using G150, G350, or G700 Media Gateways and media modules and
newer firmware exists for them, you must upgrade the firmware on them first. If the media
server is the primary controller for a G700 Media Gateway equipped with an LSP, you must
upgrade the software on the LSPs before you transfer control to the S8710 Media Servers. The
correct order is:
1. Upgrade media gateway firmware to latest version
2. Upgrade media modules firmware to latest version
3. Upgrade the media server software to latest version if using LSPs
4. Transfer control to the S8710 Media Server.
