HA Upgrade Scenarios

5.On the day of the upgrade, the Lucent technician arrives onsite and performs a backup of system and ACD-specific admin data on the original server.

Note:

At this point in the upgrade process, CMS users must not attempt to make administrative changes on the system until the HA upgrade is completed.

6.The new HA server is installed, configured, CMS is put into single user mode and the backup tape (created in Step 5) is used to migrate the System Administration data and Agent/Call Center Admin data onto the new HA server.

7.After the most recent intrahour interval archive completes on the original server, busy out all ACD links at their respective switches and re-administer them for CMS R3V8 and dual ACD links. When the switches are re-administered, release the busy out for the links.

8.As soon as the switch is re-administered and the ACD links for the new HA server come up, verify that CMS data collection on the new HA server is active for all ACDs.

9.Perform an incremental maintenance backup on the original server (historical data only), then power it down to install the new drives from the Speed Centre.

10.After the Speed Centre disks are installed and the new CMS software has been set up, restart CMS data collection on the original server. Verify that data is collected from all ACDs.

11.Migrate the CMS historical data from the incremental maintenance backup (Step 9) to the new HA server. When the migration completes, replace the incremental tape with the original full maintenance tape (Step 4) and migrate all of the remaining historical data to the new HA server.

12.Use the CMS system administration and ACD-specific admin data backup tape (Step 5) to migrate that data back onto the newly upgraded original CMS server.

13.Run a full maintenance backup on the new HA server.

14.Restore the historical data from the full maintenance backup tape (created in the preceeding step) onto the original server.

The two servers now share the same initial set of administrative data; CMS users can now resume (or start) making administrative changes to whichever CMS system is designated as the primary server.
