Procedure Two: Restoring Data Backup (If Upgrading From R1.2.X Through 2.X) - Avaya g700 Installation And Upgrades

Upgrading an existing S8300A to R3.0 using the Wizards
To configure the server using the Avaya Installation Wizard
If you have upgraded from a pre-1.2 release (Procedure One), you must enter all server
configuration information. You can do this most easily using the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW),
which will do the server configuration and install the license and password files. If you have filled
in the Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet (EPW), the IW will read the configuration data
from the EPW. Otherwise, you will need to enter the configuration data into the IW.
In addition, the IW will perform the tasks of upgrading firmware on the G700 Media Gateway
and the media modules. When you are finished with the IW, return to
tree on the network
For information on using the Avaya Installation Wizard, see Job Aid: Avaya Installation Wizard,

Restart the server
You must restart the server to capture the configuration data.
1. Telnet to the S8300 and log on.

You will see the response, Killed.

backup file, not the backup sets that you may have created with the Data Backup/
Restore — Backup Now process. If you restore the wrong files, the system can
be damaged and the only recovery path is to remaster the S8300 hard drive
again. This recovery procedure can be started using the remaster command,
which is described in Maintenance Commands for Avaya Communication
Manager, Media Gateways and Servers, 03-300191. After running the remaster
command, reboot the S8300 to start the RP program and proceed with
