Page 22 of 284 Preparing and planning for the upgrade Introduction This document implements a “source- to-target” approach to performing an upgrade. It is important to correctly identify the source platform, target platform, and maintenance window required to perform the upgrade. Each section features check boxes indicating what state the system should be in at that stage of the upgrade.

Page 32 Database Transfer utility below. If the system is equipped with IODUC cards, the database should be data dumped (EDD) to a blank 2 MB floppy. All systems can be converted by Nortel in the software conversion lab.
Page 33 If the database is on a 4 MByte floppy (the system has an IOP/CMDU), the 4 MByte customer database must be transferred to a 2 MByte floppy disk. Split the Cores and transfer call processing to Core 0. Install the Database Transfer Utility diskette into the floppy drive on the IOP/CMDU in Core 1.
Page 34: Identifying Two Unique Ip Addresses
Page 34 of 284 Preparing and planning for the upgrade Identifying two unique IP addresses Each CP PIV system must be configured with two unique IP addresses for LAN identification and communication. One IP address is defined for the active Core. The second IP address is defined for the inactive Core. In this configuration, the active Core (either Core 0 or Core 1) that handles call processing is always identified by the same IP address.
