Migrating the Second Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software to Release 9.8
Use the steps in the following sections to upgrade PGW 2 to Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8.

“Installing Sun Solaris 10” and “Loading the Sun Solaris 10 Operating Environment Packages” sections
before you begin this procedure.
Backing Up the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Configuration Files
Before you begin the migration to the new version of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software, you
need to back up your current system files. This section describes the following backup procedures:
• Create a remote backup of the current Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch configuration using the
mgcbackup utility. These backup files are used to revert to the original version of the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software if a problem occurs during migration.
• Create an MGC.tar archive file of the current Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch settings.
Follow these steps to back up the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch configuration files on PGW host 2:
Step 1 Verify that the pom.dataSync variable is set to False on the active and standby
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch hosts. To view or modify the pom.datasync variable, use an editor such as
vi to edit /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/XECfgParm.dat.
Note If you modify the pom.dataSync variable, restart the active and standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
hosts sequentially to ensure that the changes take effect.
Step 2 Log in to the PGW host 2 as mgcusr.
Step 3 Enter the following command to stop the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch.
