22 Job Aids for Field Replacements (FRUs) for the Avaya S8500 Server
Replacing the S8500 server
When replacing a failed S8500 server, there may be several components that can be reused.
These include the hard drive, Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA), and network interface card
(NIC), if being used. If these components are serviceable, we recommend that you remove
them from the failed server and install them in the replacement server. For specific removing
and replacing information see:
l Reusing the S8500 server’s hard drive on page 24
l Reusing the Remote Supervisor Adapter on page 27
l Reusing the optional network interface card (S8500) on page 30
5 Resolve alarms on the
server
Under Alarms, click Current Alarms. Compare these
against the recorded alarms from Checklist 3, step 2.
Clear any alarms that appear.
Using a SAT screen, type display alarms and
press Enter.
For instructions on resolving alarms, see Maintenance
Alarms for Avaya Communication Manager 3.1, Media
Gateways and Servers, 03-300430.
6 Check the health of the
server
Using a SAT screen, type list
ipserver-interface and status health. Check
that all connections are working correctly.
7 Set the Product ID on the
server
Confirm the product ID using the productid -p
product_id and press Enter, where product_id is
the product ID that you received from the customer or
the ART tool. Since the hard drive is being re-used, the
product ID will be on the hard drive.
8 Release alarm suppression
on the server
At the Linux command line type almsuppress -n
and press Enter to release alarm suppression.
Note: Only do this if you want to release it before the
time you set earlier runs out (maximum of 2 hours)
9 Log off all administration
applications
When you have completed all the administration, log
off the server.
