Upgrading R9csi/R10csi to Avaya Communication Manager on an Avaya DEFINITY Server CSI
Read this first

Call Management System (CMS)

The CMS link is dropped and restarted during the upgrade, causing:
•
Loss of CMS data. To minimize the measurement data loss, perform the upgrade just after the last
CMS measurement interval. If needed, print the reports before starting the upgrade.
•
Dropped calls (call processing aborted) if a measured trunk that was part of the conference
dropped off the call before the end of the call. Customers experiencing this symptom and who are
running R3V4 CMS should update to r3v4ao.e or higher.

Software compatibility

Before starting the upgrade, always check the Software Release Letter that accompanies the system
removable media. Translation corruption occurs if incompatible software is loaded. Also check the
Minimum Vintage Table, which is included with the letter, before starting the upgrade.

Usable circuit packs

Every circuit pack must conform to the minimum usable vintage requirements for that system. At a
presale site inspection, the remediation process checks the vintages of existing circuit packs to be reused.
Replace all unusable vintage circuit packs with current vintages.

Wireless systems

If the system uses Wireless Business System, you need to re-enable the radio controllers after the
upgrade. Refer to Chapter 1, "UTAM Disablement" in the DEFINITY Wireless Business System
Maintenance book. Refer also to Chapter 2, "Switch Administration" in DEFINITY Wireless Business
System Installation and Test.
NOTE:
Only the init login can perform this activity.

Antistatic protection

CAUTION:
When handling circuit packs or any electronic components, always wear an antistatic wrist
ground strap. Connect the strap to an approved ground such as ground jack on the cabinet.
