Upgrading an existing S8300B to R3.1 using the Upgrade Tool
322 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Preparing LSPs
If you are upgrading any LSPs using the Upgrade Tool from the primary controller, you must
copy the Communication Manager software to the LSP itself before running the upgrade. You
can copy the files from any of the following:
● The CD-ROM
● A TFTP server. See Setting up a TFTP server or HTTP server for LSP software download,
if desired on page 305.
● An HTTP server using a URL. See Setting up a TFTP server or HTTP server for LSP
software download, if desired on page 305.
If you use a CD-ROM, you or someone else must be physically on-site with each LSP to insert
and remove the CD-ROM.
If you use a TFTP or HTTP server, you can copy software to each server remotely. However,
the WAN must be able to handle files requiring large bandwidth, up to 71 MB for a single file.
The download from TFTP or HTTP server may experience a timeout, in which case you must
restart the download.

CAUTION:
CAUTION:
When you are upgrading the media server as a primary controller, you must
check Product Support Notice #739U for the supported upgrade paths. If you
attempt to upgrade the media server to a release that is not supported as an
upgrade path, you might corrupt the translations.
Also, you must check PSN #739U for compatibility of software loads between the
primary controller and any LSPs or ESSs. If the software loads of the primary
controller and the LSPs/ESSs are incompatible, then file synchronization
between the primary controller and the LSPs/ESSs can cause translation
corruption on the LSPs/ESSs.
To check PSN #739U, from any computer, access http://support.avaya.com.
Select Product Support Notices > View All Documents > PSN #739U.
1. Do one of the following steps:
a. If using a CD-ROM as a software source, insert the Server CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Go to step 3 .
b. If using a TFTP or HTTP server, log in to the S8300 Linux interface. For LSPs, this can
be a remote log in. Go to step 2 .
2. To check for a connection to the TFTP or HTTP server, type ping ip_address where
ip_address is the address of the TFTP or HTTP server, and press Enter.
Replies from the server scroll down the screen.
