Chapter 11: Upgrade of an existing S8300A to R3.0

This chapter covers the procedures to upgrade the Communication Manager software to

release 3.0 on an installed Avaya S8300 Media Server, version A. The procedures to upgrade

the G700 firmware use CLI commands instead of the Upgrade Tool. The current

Communication Manager release can be any pre-2.1 release. These procedures require

replacing version A of the S8300 with version B. This chapter also covers the procedures to

upgrade the firmware on an installed Avaya G700 Media Gateway.

This chapter assumes that the currently installed S8300 is version A. If the

currently installed S8300 is version B, follow the upgrade procedures in

12: Upgrade of an existing S8300B to R3.0 with manual upgrade of G700

The B version of the S8300 shows a "B" on the faceplate (see

faceplate) — the version is not indicated on the faceplate of the A version.

The S8300 version can also be determined with the SAT command, list config all. The

B version is listed as S8300B. The A version is listed as S8300.

The S8300 can be configured as either the primary controller or as a local survivable processor

(LSP). When the S8300 is an LSP, the primary controller running Avaya Communication

Manager can be either another S8300 or an Avaya S8500 or S8700/S8710 Media Server.
