272 Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300
December 2003
Disable Scheduled Maintenance
To prevent scheduled daily maintenance from interfering with the upgrade:
1At the SAT prompt, type change system-parameters maintenance and press Enter.
2If scheduled maintenance is in progress, set the Stop Time field to 1 minute after the current
time.
or
If scheduled maintenance is not in progress, set the Start Time field to a time after the
upgrade will be completed.
For example, if you start the upgrade at 8:00 P.M. and the upgrade takes 90 minutes, set the
Start Time field to 21:30.
Check for Translation Corruption
1At the SAT prompt, type newterm and press Enter.
2Enter your terminal type and press Enter.
If you see the following message: Warning: Translation corruption found, then follow the normal
escalation procedure for translation corruption before continuing the upgrade.
Stop the LSPs (if applicable)
Skip this procedure if no LSPs are registered to the S8300.
For configurations with LSPs, the LSPs and the primary controller (S8300, S8500, or S8700) must run
the same version Communication Manager. Therefore, an upgrade to an LSP is usually accompanied by
an upgrade of the primary controller. You should upgrade the LSP before you upgrade the primary
controller.
Before you upgrade the primary controller, you need to shut down Communicatio n Manager on the LSPs.
This prevents the phones and other endpoints attached to the G700 from trying to register with the LSPs
while you are upgrading the primary controller.
To stop Communication Manager on an LSP:
1Open a telnet session on the S8300 (LSP).
2Telnet to the LSP.
3At the command line, type stop -acfn and press Enter.
The S8300 (LSP) shuts down Communication Manager.
CAUTION:
The LSP’s Communication Manager must remain shutdown while you upgrade the
primary Controller. When you complete the primary controller upgrade, run save
translation on the primary controller before restarting Communication Manager on the
LSP. The save translations process will automatically cause the G700’s endpoints to
reregister with the primary controller.
After the primary controller has been upgraded, you need to restart the LSPs.
