Migrating an S8500 Media Server to an S8710 Media
Server
Use these procedures to migrate an existing S8500 Media Server to an S8710 Media Server
configuration. In this migration, you can configure the S8710 Media Servers but reuse the
translations from the S8500 Media Server. This migration requires a new Communication
Manager license file.
With this migration, you also upgrade to Communication Manager Release 3.0. If the
configuration includes local survivable processors (LSPs), you must upgrade the LSPs before
the S8710 Media Server takes control.
This migration affects service.
