Release 3.0 Upgrade Scenarios - Avaya g700 Installation And Upgrades

Upgrade of an existing S8300A to R3.0 with manual upgrade of G700 firmware
The steps to upgrade an S8300 configured as an LSP are the same as the steps to upgrade an
S8300 configured as the primary controller, with the following additional considerations:
The version of Communication Manager running on the LSP must be the same as, or later
●
than, the version running on the primary controller.
If upgrading both the primary controller and the LSP, the LSP must be upgraded first.
●
Then, with Communication Manager turned off on the LSP, the primary controller is
upgraded.
Do not save translations on an LSP.

CAUTION:
These upgrade procedures require remastering the hard drive on the S8300B.
CAUTION:
This can result in a service interruption of 3–4 hours, or up to 6 hours if IA770 is
being used.
