Upgrading an existing S8300A to R3.1 using the Web pages
226 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
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.
● Do not save translations on an LSP.

CAUTION:
CAUTION: These upgrade procedures require remastering the hard drive on the S8300B.
This can result in a service interruption of 3–4 hours, or up to 6 hours if IA770 is
being used.
Tip:
Tip: You may skip some of the procedures described in this chapter depending on the
upgrade scenario. Watch for the skip to instructions.
Note:
Note: Because of the replacement of the S8300A and the reformatting of the S8300B
hard drive, the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) cannot support upgrades of
Communication Manager to release 3.1 when starting with the S8300A version.
However, the IW can still be used to configure the S8300B after the remastering
process, and the IW or the Upgrade Tool can still be used for the media gateway
and media module firmware upgrades.
