Step 2. Gather The Materials Required For An Upgrade - Nortel Call Center Server Installation And Maintenance Manual

Upgrading from Release 4.2 to 5.0 on a new server
Step 2. Gather the materials required for an
upgrade
You need the following materials before starting your upgrade:
Item
a tape drive and
associated driver
software
(these are required only
if you are backing up
your database to a tape
drive, rather than a
remote directory on a
network computer)
blank tapes or data
cartridges
(this is required only if
you are backing up
your database to a tape
drive, rather than a
remote directory on a
network computer)
blank preformatted
disk
640
Purpose and details
Use these items to back up the database on the original server
and restore it on the new server.
CAUTION
Risk of database restoration error
The database backup that you make on the original server must
be compatible with the tape drive subsystem on the new server
(driver software, tape drive, and tape media). Otherwise, you
will be unable to restore your database. For more information,
see "Step 3. Investigate and resolve any tape drive compatibility
issues" on page 642.
You need a blank tape to store the original server's database
using the database backup procedure. The blank tape must be the
correct type for the tape drive that you are using on both servers;
the tape capacity must be large enough to contain the database
backup.
Use this item to create a Platform Recovery Disk that contains
the original server's setup record and database configuration.
