Table 72: Replacement scenarios
Original
hardware
is:
Not
Functional
You should determine which of the hardware replacement scenarios applies and obtain the needed
information, software CDs, patches, and firmware files before going to the site.
When the S8300 hardware is replaced, you need to reconfigure the S8300 Media Server. The easiest way
to do this is to back up the configuration data from the original hardware and do a full restore to the new
hardware. This procedure will work only if the hardware that you back up from, and restore to, are
running the same media server software release.
For scenarios 1, 3, and 6, the original and new hardware are running different software releases. In these
scenarios, you will need to do a software upgrade (on the original hardware for 1 and on the new
hardware for 3 and 6) to make the software releases the same. In scenario 6, since the hardware is not
functional, you cannot do a backup so you will restore the latest available backup. To do these upgrades,
you will need to have a CD containing the appropriate media server software load. The software load will
typically be the latest GA bug-fix load, but it could be an earlier load depending on what is required to
make the software releases the same on the original and new hardware.
For scenarios 2 and 5, the original and new hardware are running the same software release so no
upgrades are required. For scenario 5, you will restore the latest available backup.
