Avaya S8500 - Check Link Status; Upgrading Firmware (if Necessary); Verifying Circuit Pack Insertion; Verifying Circuit Pack Locations

Postmigration administration
Migrating to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server 115
June 2004
Verifying customer’s data
The new translations should include all the media gateway (chassis) and circuit pack administration,
including the media gateway (chassis) and the circuit pack administration of the converted cabinets
(chassis). Verify that the information is correct.
Verifying circuit pack locations
1 Type list cabinet and press Enter to view all the "cabinets." Verify that the cabinet number
assigned to the converted cabinets shows.
2 Type display cabinet number, where number is the cabinet number of the converted cabinet, and
press
Enter. Under Carrier Description, Carrier Type verify that the number of "carriers" in use
matches the number of media gateways in the stack (SCC) or media gateways in the rack (G600
or G650).
Verifying circuit pack insertion
1 Type list configuration all and press Enter to see the list of all the slot locations.
2 Verify that the circuit pack code and vintage number appears in the Code and Vintage fields
rather than "no board", indicating that a circuit pack was not installed in that slot.
Verifying IP addresses
Make sure that the node names and IP addresses assigned to the TN2302AP IP Media Processor and
TN799DP C-LAN circuit packs match the node names and IP addresses from before the migration.
1 Type display ip-interfaces and press Enter to get the node names for the TN2302AP IP Media
Processor and TN799DP C-LAN circuit packs in the slots of interest.
2 Type list node-names and press Enter to verify that the node names exist and the IP addresses
match up with the node names.
Check link status
Compare the list made before the migration to make sure that the in- or out-of-service links match.
1 Type display communication-interface links and press Enter. Write down all enabled links.
2 Type status link number where number is 1-99 and press Enter.
3 Compare which links are in service with the premigration list.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all link numbers.
Upgrading firmware (if necessary)
You may need to upgrade the firmware on the IPSI(s). Each IPSI must be on the most current and same
firmware load. The most current firmware load is on the installation CD. If not, go to Avaya Support Web
page (http://avaya.com/support
) and click on Software and Firmware Downloads.
