Avaya S8300 User Manual

Upgrading an Existing G700 with an S8300 — R1.x to R2.0
Upgrade the S8300

Since the system is now running a new software release, you must login with the initial 
craft ID and password. (You cannot use 

 at this point.)

Log on to Integrated Management and launch the Maintenance Web Interface.

Under Server, click Software Version.

Verify that the media server is running Release 2.0 software. The 

Report as:

 string should show 

R012x at the beginning of the string. For example, 

R012x.

00.0.219.0.

Normally, you would need to use the Make Upgrade Permanent function on the Web 
Interface at this point. However, this is not necessary for this upgrade because there is no 
previous software version in the alternate partition.

During reformatting of the hard drive, a new directory, /var/home/ftp/pub, was created. For release 2.0 
and later, this pub directory will be used as the /var/home/ftp directory that was used in previous releases.

You must upload the remaining required files to the pub directory on the S8300 hard drive. This includes, 
but is not limited to, the post-upgrade software update, license file, Avaya authentication file (if needed), 
and new firmware files. 

Before an upload, be sure the /var/home/ftp/pub directory contains no files with a *.pwd 
or *.lic extension. Only one of these files can exist in a directory. If more than one exists, 
move, rename, or delete all but the valid file.

Log on to Integrated Management and launch the Maintenance Web Interface.
