Note:
With release 3.0 and later of Communication Manager, the Server CD no longer
Note:
has *.tar or *.tar.gz files. These have been replaced with RPM files that use
storage space on the Server CD and the S8300 hard drive more efficiently. To
work with these files, a server with release 2.x of Communication Manager first
requires a pre-upgrade service pack installation.

The need to restore IP Phone files

If, before the upgrade, the existing system was serving as an http or tftp server for 4600-series
IP Phone firmware downloads and configuration updates, the downloadable 4600-series IP
Phone firmware and configuration file are not available on the server after the upgrade.
As a result, you must retrieve the 46xx firmware (the 46xx .tar file, for example
46xxH323_cm2_2_wi1_15_ipt2_2_111405.tar) from the Avaya Downloads Web site and
download the 46xx firmware file to the server after the upgrade. However, you can save a copy
of the 46xx configuration file before the upgrade and copy it back into the /tftpboot directory after
the upgrade.
