Stop the LSPs
(When Upgrading a Primary Controller)
For configurations with LSPs, the LSPs and the primary controller (S8300 or S8700) must run the same
version Communication Manager. Therefore, an upgrade to an LSP is usually accompanied by an upgrade
of the primary controller. You should upgrade the LSP before you upgrade the primary controller.
Before you upgrade the primary controller, you need to shut down Communication Manager on the LSPs.
This prevents the phones and other endpoints attached to the G700 from trying to register with the LSPs
while you are upgrading the primary controller.
To stop Communication Manager on an LSP
1.
Open a telnet session on the S8300 (LSP).
2. At the command line, type stop -acfn and press Enter.
The S8300 (LSP) shuts down Communication Manager.
!
CAUTION:
The LSP’s Communication Manager must remain shutdown while you upgrade the primary
Controller. When you complete the primary controller upgrade, run save translations
on the primary controller before restarting Communication Manager on the LSP. The save
translations process will automatically cause the G700’s endpoints to reregister with the
primary controller.
After the primary controller has been upgraded, you need to restart the LSPs.
To restart Communication Manager on the LSP
1.
At the command line, type start -ac and press Enter.
The S8300 starts up Communication Manager.
