and upgrading Communication Manager from
1.x to 2.x
This document provides a high-level list of tasks for converting an S8300 primary controller
(ICC) to Local Survivable Processor (LSP) mode, and upgrading Avaya Communication
Manager from 1.x to 2.x.

Note:
An upgrade to Avaya Communication Manager 2.1 or later requires an S8300B
Media Server, which means replacing the S8300A Media Server, if it is in use.
For an upgrade to release 2.0.x, replacing the S8300A Media Server is not
required, but recommended.
To complete these tasks, you will need the following additional documents:
●
Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media
Server, 555-234-100. (To obtain this document, go to
navigate to Installations, Migrations, Upgrades & Configurations; then select the
appropriate document.
●
Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 03-300509.
●
Converting between an ICC and LSP
, which is for U.S.-based systems only. Similar
documents for non-US systems should be available from the regional web sites.
In this scenario, an S8300A configured as an internal call controller (ICC), and running
Communication Manager release 1.x, is replaced by an S8300B, running Communication
Manager release 2.x in LSP mode.
The tasks include:
1. Moving the endpoints supported by the ICC to a different primary controller.
2. Updating the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server alternate controller list.
3. Updating the media gateway controller (MGC) list.
4. Replacing the S8300A Media Server with the S8300B Media Server.
5. Remastering the S8300 hard drive.
6. Installing the 2.x Communication Manager software.
7. Configuring the S8300B as an LSP.
8. Upgrading the gateway and media module firmware.
Follow the detailed procedures in Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway
and Avaya S8300 Media Server, 555-234-100, Issue 8, April 2005, for most of the tasks in this
conversion scenario.
