Migrating from an S8700 or S8710 Media Server to an S8720 Media Server
948 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Upgrading firmware on media gateways and media modules
You can use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the firmware on all the media gateways and media
modules. However, to use the tool, the firmware files must be installed on the S8300 or other
TFTP server that is accessible to the media gateways.
For more information on the firmware upgrade process, see Installing and Upgrading the Avaya
G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server (555-234-100).
Verifying hardware
Ensure that you have the conversion specific hardware on hand. You can reuse some of the
equipment and cables when migrating an S8700 or S8710 Media Server to S8720 Media
Server.
Using Enterprise Survivable Servers
To ensure that the ESSs do not take over during the migration, you can reset the Network
Service Timer on the ESS to 15 minutes.
Using local survivable processors
If using local survivable processors (LSPs), and if no "recovery rule" on the gateway screen is
set, either:
● Shutdown LSPs before the migration, or
● Reset the LSPs after the migration
Migration tasks
This section provides the information to migrate from the current media server to the S8720
Media Server.
