Chapter 2: Migrating From An S8500 Media Server To S8710 Media Server; Basic Migration Steps - Avaya S8700 Series Manual

Chapter 2: Migrating from an S8500 Media Server to
These procedures explain how to migrate an existing S8500 Media Server on release 2.1 of
Avaya Communication Manager to S8710 Media Servers on release 2.1.1. In this migration,
you configure the S8710 Media Servers but reuse the translations from the S8500 Media
Server. This migration requires a new license file.
Because with this migration you are upgrading to Release 2.1.1 of Communication Manager,
you must upgrade local survivable processors (LSPs), if they are being used, before the S8710
Media Server takes control.

Basic Migration Steps

Install the Avaya S8710 Media Servers in a 19-inch, 4-post rack as described in the Quick
Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 Series Media Servers (555-245-703). You
need a second UPS.
Connect the duplication cables.
