Basic migration steps
When migrating from DEFINITY platforms:
• Install the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Servers and, if Avaya supplied, the Ethernet switch(es),
and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) in the 4-post, 19-inch rack as described in the Quick
Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server (555-245-703).
• Replace Tone-Clock circuit packs with IPSI circuit packs in existing expansion port networks
(when reusing SCCs or MCCs).
• Convert the existing processor control carrier/cabinet to an expansion control carrier/cabinet.
(when reusing cabinets).
• Replace the Tone-Clock, Processor, or both circuit packs with the IPSI circuit pack in the existing
port network.
• S8700 MC: If high or critical reliability, replace the second control carrier/cabinet with a port
carrier/cabinet (when reusing SCCs or MCCs).
• S8700 IP: Move circuit packs to G650 Media Gateway (when not reusing cabinets).
• Connect the media servers to the media gateways.
• Enable control of the IPSIs, switching control to the S8700 or S8710 Media Servers.
• Complete the post-migration administration.
When migrating from S8500 or S8700 Media Servers:
• Install the Avaya S8710 Media Servers either
— in a 19-inch, 4-post rack on a 2-post rack. as described in the Quick Start for Hardware
Installation: Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server (555-245-703).
— on a pullout shelf attached to a 2-post rack.
• Back up all the system files from both S8700 Media Servers to the customer’s network using the
Linux Migration - Backup/Restore link on the Maintenance Web Interface.
• Install the R2.1 software on the S8710 Media Servers.
• Restore the system files from the customer’s network to both S8710 Media Servers using the
Linux Migration - Backup/Restore link.
• Connect the duplication cables after restoring files to the second media server.
NOTE:
If moving Ethernet switch(es) and UPSs to the 4-post rack, do it here before the cutover.
• Connect the control network Ethernet cables to the new S8710 Media Servers, standby media
server first.
• Complete the post-migration administration.
