registrations with the ESSs during a server upgrade. For more information, see Stopping and
starting LSPs on page 92.
SAMP card boot timeout if upgrading with remastering
program
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you follow the upgrade procedures as described in this document, the SAMP
card boot timeout in the S8500B does not usually timeout during an upgrade. As
a result, you do not have to disable the SAMP boot timeout prior to an upgrade.
However, if you do not follow the upgrade procedures in this document, but instead,
upgrade the software using a telnet session and the remastering program, you must
disable the SAMP boot timeout first. See Disabling the boot timeout of the SAMP
board (S8500B upgrade only) on page 1168 or "Disabling the boot timeout on Release
3.1 using the SAMP Web page" in the Using the Avaya Server Availability
Management Processor (SAMP), 03-300322.
