44 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
What the Wizard Can and Cannot Do
You can use the Avaya Installation Wizard to do the following:
Note:
Note: To install or upgrade software on a media server, the IW must be running on that
media server. To install or upgrade firmware on a G700, G350, G250, G250-BRI,
G250-DS1, or G250-DCP Media Gateway, IW must be running on the S8300 that
resides in the media gateway; or, for a G700 stack, IW must be running on an
S8300 that resides in a G700 in the stack.
Note:
Note: You cannot use the IW on pre-3.0 release of Communication Manager to upgrade
a media server to Communication Manager R3.1.
● Install a new S8400, S8500B, S8710, or S8720 Media Server, with the S8500B configured
as a primary controller, Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS), or Local Survivable Processor
(LSP), and the S8710/8720 Media Server configured either as a primary controller or ESS.
● Install an S8300/G700 stack, an S8300/G350, or an S8300/G250/G250-BRI/G250-DS1/
G250-DCP, with S8300 configured as a primary controller or Local Survivable Processor
(LSP).
● You can also install IA770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging when the S8300 or S8400 is a
primary controller (only if you run the IA770 installation concurrently with the
Communication Manager installation).
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you install or upgrade Communication Manager on the media server and do not
concurrently install or upgrade IA770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging software, you
must reinstall Communication Manager, along with IA770 software, if you want to
install or upgrade IA770 software later.
● Install service packs to Communication Manager software.
● Upgrade Communication Manager R3.0 or R3.1 software on an S8300, S8400, S8500,
S8500B, S8700, S8710, or S8720 Media Server to a later release. You can also upgrade
IA770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging on an S8300 or S8400 primary controller (only if you
run the IA770 upgrade concurrently with the Communication Manager upgrade).
Note:
Note: You cannot use IW to upgrade Communication Manager from a pre-R3.0 version
of Communication Manager.
