Overview of the upgrade process

Because you cannot use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the G150 and G250 Media Gateways,
you must upgrade them separately.
The upgrade process consists of the following high level steps:
1. Obtain the updated license files and preupgrade and postupgrade service packs for LSPs
and the primary controller. Also, obtain firmware files for all G350 and G700 Media
Gateways.
2. If LSPs or ESSs are used, prepare the LSPs and ESS for the upgrade:
Distribute Communication Manager software to the site of each LSP and ESS. You can
●
distribute software with either of the following methods:
- CD-ROMs that someone mails
- Software someone copies to a TFTP or HTTP server, from which the LSP/ESS can
download the software over the customer LAN.
Use the Maintenance Web Interface pages to copy the preupgrade service packs (R2.x
●
only) to the primary controller (main server).
Use the Upgrade Tool to install and activate the preupgrade service pack on any LSPs,
●
ESSs, and the primary controller (R2.x only).
