Configuring second media server

The procedures for this installation are the same as for configuring the first media server. Repeat tasks

Clearing the ARP cache on the laptop on page 33 through Disconnecting from the media server on page

40 for the second media server.

Remastering the hard drive

CAUTION:

This task is not part of the ordinary configuration process and erases any information on

the drive. Do not perform this task unless you are updating from a release prior to Release

2.1 of Avaya Communication Manager.

NOTE:

This step upgrades the server, loading the RP software onto the backup partition. The

currently running release remains on the other partition, just as it always does during an

upgrade.

1Insert the CD containing the software into the CD-ROM drive on the media server and close the

tray.

2Under Server Configuration and Upgrades, click Install New Software Release.

3Select from the menu the file from the CD (S8700-00.0-0000.0). Click Continue to complete the

software installation.

On the page asking about installing the license file, select either statement and click Continue.

The license file is replaced later in the upgrade process.

On the page asking about installing the Avaya authentication files, select Do not update

authentication information and click Continue.

4Select Reboot when you get to that Web page.

After the system reboots, which takes about 3 minutes, the RP software redirects the system to

boot from the CD-ROM drive. This is the same software that would have loaded if the CD were

bootable. Note that no telephony support is provided by this software. Its only purpose is to

reformat the hard drive and install a clean copy of the Avaya Communication Manager server

software.

5Close the browser.
