!
Important:
● The system is a pre-2.1 release of Communication Manager running on an S8300A and
the customer placed an order to upgrade to release 2.1 or later.
● The S8300A Server the customer has is faulty and a replacement unit of an S8300A
Server is not available.
● There is Tier III approval to replace the S8300A because of an issue in the existing server
and/or the software release.
When a pre-2.1 release of Communication Manager is running on an S8300A, and you want to
upgrade to a 2.1 or later release, you must replace the S8300A with an S8300B. The B version
supports any Communication Manager release but the A version supports only pre-2.1
releases. The replacement S8300B is normally shipped without Communication Manager
software. In this case, you need to install Communication Manager software on the S8300
Server and configure the server. These procedures are covered in Installing and Upgrading the
Avaya S8300 Server, 555-234-100.

Identify the replacement scenario
Eight scenarios for replacing the S8300 hardware are summarized in Table 1: Replacement
scenarios on page 5. Each scenario requires a slightly different pre-installation preparation and
a slightly different installation procedure. The different scenarios depend on whether the original
(currently installed) hardware is functional, and whether the software releases installed on the
original and new hardware are the same, different, or unknown. Scenario 8 is the most common
replacement scenario for replacing the server/hard drive.

Description of replacement scenarios
Note:
When the S8300 hardware is replaced, you need to reconfigure the S8300 Server. The easiest
way to do this is to back up the configuration data from the original hardware and do a full
restore to the new hardware.
Scenario 8 is the common replacement scenario in which the old and new hardware and
software versions are the same.
However, for scenarios 1, 3, and 6, the original and new hardware are running different software
releases. In these scenarios, you will need to do a software upgrade (on the original hardware
for 1 and on the new hardware for 3 and 6) to make the software releases the same.
For scenario 6, since the hardware is not functional, you cannot do a backup so you will restore
the latest available backup. To do these upgrades, you need to have a CD containing the
appropriate server software load. The software load will typically be the latest release of the
software, but it could be an earlier release depending on what is required to make the software
releases the same on the original and new hardware.
For scenarios 2 and 5, the original and new hardware are running the same software release so
no upgrades are required. For scenario 5, you will restore the latest available backup.
Before you go to the site
For scenario 4, you cannot use the latest available backup to restore the configuration data.
(You cannot upgrade the original hardware or backup the configuration data because the
hardware is not functional. You cannot do a full restore of the latest available backup because
the original and new hardware have different software releases). In this scenario, you must do a
full configuration using the Avaya Installation Wizard or using Configure Server Web page on
the Communication Manager System Management Interface Web page and restore just the
translations and Communication Manager Messaging files from the latest available backup.
For scenario 7, you (and the customer) do not know the software release on the original
hardware, and you are unable to check the software release because the hardware is not
functional. In this case, you must follow the replacement procedure in scenario 4, with the
additional step of upgrading the new hardware to the latest software release, if that software
release is not already installed on the new hardware. This upgrade step ensures that the
system is not be downgraded in case the original hardware had the latest software release
installed.
Note: If you have a set of backup files which will be used to restore the server, you can
determine which Communication Manager software release was running on the
original server at the time of the backup set was created.
After the Communication Manager software is installed to the replacement S8300
server, you can use the View/Restore Data, preview capability to determine what
Communicatioin Manager software was running at the time the backup set was
created.

Job Aid: Replacing the S8300 Server or its hard drive
Note:
Before going to the customer site
Perform the following steps before going to the customer site:
1. Download the current license file and authentication (password) file from the RFA web site.
The license file must be associated with the serial number of the media gateway in which
the defective hardware resides. Save the license and authentication files on the laptop that
you will use at the customer site.
2. For scenarios 4 and 7 — if the original hardware is not functional, and the original hardware
has an earlier (or unknown) software release than the release installed on the new
hardware, then you need to do a full configuration (rather than a full restore).
Create a pre-installation server worksheet, which is used when configuring the S8300 after
hardware replacement. There is an electronic version and a printable version of the
pre-installation worksheet. The electronic version is used with the Avaya Installation Wizard
to directly load the configuration data onto the S8300. The printable version is used to
record the configuration data, which is then manually entered into the screens of the Avaya
Installation Wizard or the Configure Server (On the Communication Manager System
Management Interface Web page, Installation > Configure Server). The electronic version,
used with the Avaya Installation Wizard, is recommended because it simplifies the
data-entry task and is more accurate.
You can obtain the pre-installation worksheet from http://support.avaya.com/
Note: You do not need to create a pre-installation worksheet for the other scenarios (1,
.
2, 3, 5, and 6).
3. For scenario 7 — if the software release on the original hardware is unknown, check to see
if the software release on the new hardware is the latest software release. If not, obtain a
CD with the latest software release.
4. Determine backup location, user name, ftp host name, directory, and password to do an
FTP backup when on site. Keep this information handy for the restore.
5. For scenarios 1, 3, and 6 — if an upgrade is needed, obtain a CD with the appropriate
release of the server software to be used for upgrading the original or new hardware. (The
appropriate release is whatever makes the releases on the original and new hardware the
same after the upgrade).
6. For scenarios 1, 2, and 3, obtain information about the customer’s FTP backup server: IP
address, user name, password, ftp host name, and directory.
7. Determine whether software service packs will be needed and, if so, download the
appropriate software service pack to your laptop.
8. If the new hardware has a release of the server software that is later than the release
installed on the original hardware, you may need to upgrade the media gateway firmware.
