The Upgrade Tool
The LSP/Gateway Upgrade Tool allows you to schedule automatic upgrades of Local Survivable
Processors (LSPs) and G350 and G700 Media Gateways from the primary controller. The primary
controller can be an S8300, S8500 or an S8700. With the upgrade tool, you do not have to physically be
at the LSP and gateway locations in order to perform the upgrades. Additionally, you do not have to run
the upgrades one by one. You simply enter the needed information for all LSPs, G350s, and G700s into
the upgrade tool. Then, at the scheduled time, the Upgrade Tool automatically upgrades the software and
firmware on all the specified LSPs and gateways.
NOTE:
You must still complete the normal prerequisite tasks such as completing the RFA process
for license files and uploading the most recent .tar file (for an LSP) to the
/var/home/ftp/pub directory or uploading the most recent firmware (for a media gateway)
to a TFTP server.
You cannot use the Upgrade Tool to do the
following:
• Install a new LSP or G350 or G700 Media Gateway. For each new installation, you must be on
site and use the Avaya Installation Wizard (for an LSP), the Avaya Gateway Installation Wizard
(for a media gateway), or perform a manual installation.
• Upgrade LSPs to Avaya Communication Manager 2.0. An LSP must already have
Communication Manager 2.0 or higher. Thus, the Upgrade Tool is used for upgrades to software
higher than Communication Manager 2.0.
• Upgrade an active LSP (one that has taken control of calls because of a problem with the primary
controller)
• Upgrade the S8300 Media Server acting as the primary controller.
• Upgrade an S8500 or S8700 Media Server.
• Upgrade P330 Expansion modules.
• Upgrade G600, G650, CMC1, SCC1, or MCC1 Media Gateways.
The Upgrade Tool ships with the media servers and is available on the home page of the media server’s
Maintenance Web Interface. For more information, see Job Aid: Upgrade Tool and Worksheets.
