Avaya S8100 Series - Upgrading software on the local survivable processors

Premigration administration
Issue 2.1 June 2006 901
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.
Upgrading software on the local survivable processors
For more information on the software upgrade process, see Installation and Upgrades for the
Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server (555-234-100).
Note:
Note: Although the LSPs remain registered with the primary controller, the LSPs do not
accept translations if LSPs are running an older version of the software than the
software that is on the primary controller.
You can use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the firmware on the G700 Media Gateway. For more
information on how to use the Upgrade Tool, see Job Aid: Upgrade Tool and Worksheets
(555-245-757).
You might be able to use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the software on the S8300 Media Server,
depending on the version of the media server. For more information, see Installation and
Upgrades for the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server (555-234-100).

CAUTION:
CAUTION: You must stop call processing on the LSPs during the migration process. You can
stop call processing on the active media server. If you do not stop call processing
on the LSPs, all calls to the LSPs will be dropped.
