Major tasks to upgrade the S8300B to release 3.1 and upgrade the G700 firmware
Issue 9.1 June 2006 295
Note:
Note: With release 3.0 and later of Communication Manager, the Server CD no longer
has *.tar or *.tar.gz files. These have been replaced with RPM files that use
storage space on the Server CD and the S8300 hard drive more efficiently. To
work with these files, a server with release 2.x of Communication Manager first
requires a pre-upgrade service pack installation.
The need to restore IP Phone files
If, before the upgrade, the existing system was serving as an http or tftp server for 4600-series
IP Phone firmware downloads and configuration updates, the downloadable 4600-series IP
Phone firmware and configuration file are not available on the server after the upgrade.
As a result, you must retrieve the 46xx firmware (the 46xx .tar file, for example
46xxH323_cm2_2_wi1_15_ipt2_2_111405.tar) from the Avaya Downloads Web site and
download the 46xx firmware file to the server after the upgrade. However, you can save a copy
of the 46xx configuration file before the upgrade and copy it back into the /tftpboot directory after
the upgrade.
See the following:
● Saving a copy of the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any on page 310
● Copying IP Phone firmware to the media server, if necessary on page 339
● Restoring the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any on page 340
