Replicating a G250/G350 using a USB mass storage device

The following procedure is useful for replicating a G250/G350 that has become faulty. Since the
backup command backs up all the gateway configuration files, but does not back up any
firmware files, the main task is to add the various firmware files before running restore.

When adding files to a backup directory on a USB mass storage device, follow

the file and directory naming convention, detailed in
successful restore.
1. Make sure you have a backup of the faulty G250/G350 on a USB mass storage device.
Refer to
device on page 117.
2. Transfer the media modules, including the S8300 if installed, from the faulty G250/G350
into the corresponding slots of the new G250/G350.
3. Connect the new G250/G350 to a power source.
4. In the new G250/G350, enter show image version to find out which of the two image
banks holds the older gateway firmware version, and what version it is.
5. If the new G250/G350 firmware version is below 26.x.y, you must replace it with firmware
version 26.x.y or higher, in order to enable the restore option. To do so:
a. Download the G250/G350 firmware from the Avaya support website
(http://www.avaya.com/support) to an FTP/TFTP server.
b. Download the G250/G350 firmware from the FTP/TFTP server to the new G250/G350.
Assuming that Bank A holds the older firmware version, enter copy ftp
sw_imageA filename ip, where filename is the full path and file name of the
firmware file, and ip is the IP address of the FTP server. Alternatively, enter copy
tftp sw_imageA filename ip if you are downloading from a TFTP server.
6. If the new G250/G350 firmware version is 26.x.y or above, add a G250/G350 firmware to
the USB mass storage device, as follows:
a. From the Avaya support website, download to your PC the same version of
G250/G350 firmware as was running in the faulty G250/G350.
b. Insert the USB mass storage device into the PC's USB port.
c. Copy the G250/G350 firmware file to the root backup directory in the USB mass
storage device.
