• LD 43 BKO
Note: The CCBR method of database backup is not supported for small
system to large system database conversion.
By combining the EDD and archive methods, the database files are saved
onto a Compact Flash (CF) card (with a PCMCIA card adapter when plugged
into the SSC card) so that the database can be converted for use on the target
Server duringthe software installation. LD 43 EDD updates the database on
the internal drive (to ensure that the latest memory contents are backed up)
and LD 143 backs up the database to the backup RMD. Failure to perform a
recent LD 43 (EDD) may result in the loss of any recent changes to the
database.
Note: An alternative to the Archive command in LD 143 is the BKO
command in LD 43. However; the Archive in LD 143 is the
recommended method as it allows for multiple databases to be copied to
the RMD. As a result, there is less risk of overwriting existing files using
LD 143 to archive the database.
There is a fundamental difference between the small system, running an SSC,
and an Avaya Communication Server 1000E running a Server. This
difference is represented in how the format of the TN (Terminal Number) is
displayed.
The small system TN is displayed to the administrator using a two-field
format, or card-unit. In an Avaya Communication Server 1000E system, the
TN is displayed using a four-field format, or loop-shelf-card-unit. This
four-field TN format is the same as those used in current large systems.
The end result is that when a small system database is converted to a large
system database, the TNs are re-mapped. The result is that the displayed TN
changes during the conversion process. The administrator must be aware of
the TN mapping. For example, a small system with an IP phone configured
in TN 61-0 now has that same IP phone show up in 96-0-1-0 after the
conversion process.
