Upgrading an Existing G700 with an S8300 — R2.0 to R2.x
On-site Preparation for the Upgrade
Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300 271
December 2003
Pre-Upgrade Tasks — If the T arget S8300 is the Primary Controller
If the S8300 is configured as an LSP, skip to Upgrade the S8300 on page 282.
CAUTION:
If you are upgrading an S8300 primary controller that has LSPs registered to it, the LSPs
must be upgraded before the primary controller. (You can use the SAT command, list
media-gateway, to see if there are LSPs registered to the S8300.)
Perform the following procedures if you are upgrading an S8300 that is configured as a primary
controller.
NOTE:
It is no longer necessary to disable Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) before an
upgrade or to enable it after an upgrade.
