Upgrading Lively from Sparc-based Platforms to Opteron-based
Platforms
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports a live upgrade from Sparc-based platforms to Opteron-based
platforms. There is no service outrage during the upgrade. The service and data on the Sparc-based
platforms are transferred seamlessly to the Opteron-based platforms.
Before You Start
Before you do the live upgrade from the old Sparc-based platforms to the new Opteron-based platforms,
make sure you have full access to the following platforms:
• the old Sparc-based active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch (referred to as PGW 1)
• the old Sparc-based standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch (referred to as PGW 2)
• A pair of new Opteron-based hardware platforms for Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch (referred to as
PGW 3 and PGW 4)
Verify if the two scripts, liveUpgrade.sh and mgcTTmigrate (Sparc-based platform scripts), are in the
/opt/CiscoMGC/local directory on PGW 1 and 2. If you cannot find them, you can download them from
the Cisco website.
To download the mgcTTmigrate script, go to
