should be used only if a failure has occurred and it is determined that the hard drive should be replaced.
Upgrade Requirements
A software upgrade may be required when replacing a failed hard drive on an S8700 Media Server. The following
table describes when an upgrade is required.
.
Required Equipment
Verify that you have the following equipment and tools on site:
■ Replacement hard drive
■ CD-ROM(s) with appropriate software load(s) — R1.2 (1.0/1.1 replacement or for R1.0/1.1 LSPs) and/or R1.3
(R1.3 replacement)
■ Ethernet crossover cable for direct connection of your laptop to the media servers
■ Cross-point (Phillips) screwdrivers (#1 and #2)
■ Hex-head (Allen) wrench (1/8 in. 3mm)
■ Electrostatic wrist ground strap and mat
Software Release Before Disk
Failure Upgrade Requirement
Release 1.0, 1.1.x
(R011x.01.xxx.x)
If used, upgrade all LSPs to Release 1.2 software. Because the
replacement hard drive comes with Release 1.2 software, you need to
upgrade the existing media server to Release 1.2 software.
Release 1.2.x
(R011x.02.xxx.x)
No upgrade is required because the new hard drive contains R1.2
software. However, a software patch, if necessary, must be installed.
Release 1.3.x
(R011x.03.xxx.x)
Because the new hard drive contains R1.2 software, the software must
be upgraded to R1.3. You must also install the same patch(es) as that on
the existing server. Neither the other media server nor the LSPs need to
be upgraded because they already have R1.3 software.
