Preliminary Procedures
During an upgrade, Software Technical Support (STS) must convert the Release
5/6si translations and write them to removable media. The flashcard is sent to
STS for conversion. During this time, do not add any new translations while the
spare flashcard is being converted. If not possible, be sure to keep detailed
records of any translation changes made during that interval. These records
facilitate the reassignment of any changes after the upgrade. The new Avaya
MultiVantage Software on removable media (1 with the converted translations, 2 if
duplicated) must be on-site before the upgrade begins.
Because a new PPN is installed during the upgrade, STS changes the PN number
of the Release 5/6si PPN that will be converted to an EPN. To minimize the
renumbering of PNs and to minimize the rewiring and relabeling of the MDF, the
removable media conversion assigns the next PN number (after the highest
numbered PN in the system) to the Release 5/6si PPN that will become the EPN.
For example, if a Release 5/6si system with 2 PNs (a PPN and an EPN) were
upgraded, the tape conversion software assigns PN 1 to the new PPN and PN 3
to the additional EPN derived from the old Release 5/6si PPN.
