5 Upgrading an Existing G700
with an S8300
This chapter covers the procedures to upgrade the software and firmware on an existing Avaya
TM
G700
Media Gateway with an Avaya
TM
S8300 Media Server. The S8300 can be configured as either the primary
controller or as a local survivable processor (LSP). When the S8300 is an LSP, the primary controller,
running Avaya
TM
Communication Manger, can be either another S8300 or an Avaya
TM
S8700 Media Server.
Note: Procedures to install or upgrade an S8700 Media Server are not covered in this
document. See Avaya
TM
S8300 and S8700 Media Server Library, which is on the
Avaya Support website (http://www.avaya.com/support) or on the CD, 555-233-
825.
Note: If you are using the LSP/G700 Upgrade Tool, the Upgrade Tool performs the
following tasks automatically:
Upgrade the Software on the S8300, Determine
Necessary Upgrades to the S8300, Determine Which Firmware to Install on the G700,
and
Upgrade the Firmware on the G700.
The steps to upgrade an S8300 configured as an LSP are the same as the steps to upgrade an S8300
configured as the primary controller, with the following additional considerations:
• The version of Communication Manager running on the LSP must be the same as, or later than, the
version running on the primary controller.
• If upgrading both the primary controller and the LSP, the LSP must be upgraded first. Then, with
Communication Manager turned off on the LSP, the primary controller is upgraded.
