Manual upgrade of an S8300A and G700 to R4.0
544 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Obtaining a USB DVD/CD-ROM drive
Upgrading Communication Manager on an S8300 to release 4.0 requires remastering the
S8300B/C hard drive. After remastering the drive, the remastering program looks for the
Communication Manager software files on an external USB CD-ROM drive (S8300B or
S8300C). Therefore, you must have a USB DVD/CD-ROM drive at the site.
Getting information that the project manager provides
Ask the project manager for the information needed to prepare for this installation. Appendix
B: Information checklists provides several checklists to help you gather the installation and
upgrade information.
Filling in the EPW, if upgrading from release 1.3 or earlier
If you are upgrading from release 1.3 or earlier, you will need to do a complete configuration of
the S8300B or C after the upgrade to release 4.0. The most efficient way to do this is to fill in the
Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet (EPW) and use the Avaya Installation Wizard to complete
the server configuration task. You should download the latest version of the EPW from
http://
support.avaya.com/avayaiw/ to your laptop. You can fill in most or all of the configuration
information before going to the site. Any missing information can be added to the EPW at the
site by viewing the configuration screens using the Maintenance Web Interface before the
upgrade.
Getting the serial number of the G700,
if necessary
To create a new license file or update an existing license file, you need the serial number of the
G700 in which the S8300 is installed.
For an upgrade of an installed S8300, the existing license file can usually be reused. However,
if the customer is adding feature functionality (for example, adding BRI trunks), or if the upgrade
is between major releases (for example, 1.3 to 2.1), you will need an updated license file. To get
the serial number of the G700, ask the customer’s administrator to log into the S8300 web page
and select
View License Status from the main menu to display the serial number. The serial
number should also be on a sticker on the back of the G700 chassis but this number is
occasionally incorrect.
