NN43021-469 Standard 01.01 May 2007

Introduction

This document implements a “source- to-target” approach to performing an
upgrade. It is important to correctly identify the source platform, target
platform, and maintenance window required to perform the upgrade.

Each section features check boxes indicating what state the system should be
in at that stage of the upgrade. If the system is not in the proper state steps
should be taken to correct this.

Each section is written to maintain Dial Tone where possible and limit service
interruptions.

Before attempting any software or hardware upgrade field personnel should
follow the steps in Table 2:

IMPORTANT!

This upgrade requires that the PC you are working from is
equipped with a floppy disk drive and CF reader (or, if a
CF reader is not available, a PCMCIA CF adaptor).

Planning for an upgrade involves the following tasks:

• Read and understand the current release Product Bulletin.

• Review the current release product bulletin related specifically to the
software being upgraded.

• Conduct a site inspection to determine proper power and grounding.

• Review the site profile to determine proper foot space if adding new
columns or modules.

Note: For information on adding new network shelves, see

Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Installation
and Commissioning (NN43021-310).

• Ensure sufficient power for new columns/modules or applications.

• Identify all applications that are currently installed on the source
platform.

• Identify and correct outstanding service problems.

• Verify the site log is updated with current trunking, call routing,
application notes, and site contact information.

• Review all product bulletins and Nortel Alerts that impact the site.

• Determine if software can be converted on site or must be sent to Nortel.

• Prepare a contingency plan for backing out of the upgrade.

Upgrade Checklists

Upgrade checklists can be found in “Upgrade checklists” on page 263.
Engineers may print this section for reference during the upgrade.

Preparing

Preparing for an upgrade involves the following tasks:

• Identify and become familiar with all procedures.

• Verify that all installed applications meet the minimum software
requirements for the target platform (see Communication Server 1000M

and Meridian 1: Large System Planning and Engineering

(NN43021-220)).

• Verify proper cable lengths for the target platform.

• Determine and note current patch or Dep lists installed at the source
platform.

• Determine required patch or Dep lists at the target platform for all
system-patchable components (Call Server, Voice Gateway Media
Cards, Signaling Servers and so on).

• Determine the required patches or DEP lists installed on all applications
(CallPilot, Symposium Call Center Server, Meridian Mail, TM 3.1, and
so on).

• Determine and communicate the required maintenance window,
contingency plan and the impact to the customer to complete the
procedure.

DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

In a DC-powered system, power to the column can
remain on during the following procedures. In an
AC-powered system, however, power to the entire

End of Procedure

Procedure 3
Performing an ABKO (save the database to floppies)

1 Insert floppy diskettes into BOTH floppy disk drives in each Core IODU/C

or MMDU.

Note: If the file is too large to fit on a single floppy disk, the ABKO
command will compress the data. If the compressed data is still too large
to fit on a single disk, both floppy disks in the two IODU/C drives will be
used. Be sure to insert floppy disks into BOTH IODU/C drives before the
ABKO backup is begun.

2 Load the Customer Configuration Backup and Restore (LD 143). At the

prompt, enter:

3 Run the ABKO backup (LD 143).

Result: If the backup is successful, the system displays a message that
states that the database backup is complete and generates a report that
indicates which floppy drives were used.

4 If there are validation errors, repeat the procedure.

5 Once the backup is complete, type:

Procedure 4
Converting the 4 MB database media to 2 MB database media

Before the system is upgraded to CP PIV, the database must reside on a
2 MByte floppy disk for conversion to CF. Systems with an IODU/C drive
already have 2 MByte floppy drive and can skip this procedure.

CAUTION

Loss of Data

If the backup is not successful, do not continue; contact
your technical support organization. Any backup
problems must be corrected before the system is
upgraded to CP PIV.

**** Exit program

IMPORTANT!

If the system is equipped with IOP/CMDU cards the
database must be converted with the Database Transfer
utility below.

If the system is equipped with IODUC cards, the
database should be data dumped (EDD) to a blank 2 MB
floppy.

All systems can be converted by Nortel in the software
conversion lab.

Preparing and planning for the upgrade Page 33 of 284

Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 81C IGS to CS 1000M MG CP PII FNF Upgrade

If the database is on a 4 MByte floppy (the system has an IOP/CMDU), the 4
MByte customer database must be transferred to a 2 MByte floppy disk.

1 Split the Cores and transfer call processing to Core 0.

2 Install the Database Transfer Utility diskette into the floppy drive on the

IOP/CMDU in Core 1.

3 Press the reset button (MAN RST) on the Call Processor card in Core 1

6 Remove the 2 MByte customer database diskette from the floppy drive of

the IOP/CMDU. Do not reboot the system at this point.

End of Procedure

CAUTION — Service Interruption

Select only options:

• <t> Tools Menu from the Install menu, and

• <s> To archive database from the Tools menu.

DO NOT select any other options. Other options can
result in operating system corruption.

<t> Go to the Tools menu.

<s> Archive existing database.

<cr> <a> Continue with archive (insert blank 2 MByte

diskette from the software kit into the floppy drive

<cr> <a> Diskette is now in floppy drive in Core 1.

Page 34 of 284 Preparing and planning for the upgrade

NN43021-469 Standard 01.01 May 2007

Identifying two unique IP addresses

Each CP PIV system must be configured with two unique IP addresses for
LAN identification and communication. One IP address is defined for the
active Core. The second IP address is defined for the inactive Core. In this
configuration, the active Core (either Core 0 or Core 1) that handles call
processing is always identified by the same IP address.

• Contact your systems administrator to identify two unique IP addresses
before the upgrade.

• For instructions to configure these IP numbers, see “Configuring IP
addresses” on page 102.

Checking requirements for CNI to 3PE cables (NTND14)

IMPORTANT!

When configuring NTND14 cables, observe the following
rules:

• The shortest NTND14 Cable should always be used.

• A network group requires 4 NTND14 cables, 2 to
each half group. Both cables to each half group must
be the same length.

• A check should be made on the existing NTND14
cables. Replace any cables that do not meet the
above requirement.

Note: The NTND14 BX 50' cables are manufacture
discontinued.

same length as the cables from the last group back to
group 0.

The distance between the lengths of each fiber ring from
group 0 to any other group must not exceed 50'. Rings
are directional. Ring 0 is ascending and ring 1 is
descending.

Note: When adding an additional network group, fiber
cables must be changed to adhere to the rules above.

IMPORTANT!

When configuring NTND14 cables, observe the
following rules:

• The shortest NTND14 Cable should always be
used.

• A network group requires 4 NTND14 cables, 2 to
each half group. Both cables to each half group
must be the same length.

Upgrading Core 1

Procedure 5
Checking main Core card installation

The main Core cards, including the MMDU (with the cables for power and
data), are installed in the factory as shown in Figure 3 on page 48:

1 NT4N65AB CP PII Core Network Interface (cCNI) cards:

Each system contains 1-4 NT4N65 cCNI card per Core/Net module. The
cCNI cards are located in slot c9-c12. If not already installed, install a
P0605337 CP PII Card Slot Filler Panel to cover slots which do not
contain cCNIs.

Note: In the NT4N40 Core/Net card cage, port 0 on the NT4N65 Core to
Network Interface (cCNI) Card in slot c9 must be configured as “group 0.”
Port 1 on this card must be configured as group 1. The cCNI and 3PE
cards for group 0 communicate through the NT4N29 cables. The cCNi to
3PE cables for groups 1 to 7 communicate through the NTND14 cables.

2 Slots c13 and c14 are left empty. If not already installed, install a

P0605337 CP PII Card Slot Filler Panel in each slot.

3 NT4N48 System Utility (Sys Util) card is located in slot c15.

In Core 1, route and connect the cCNI to 3PE (NTND14) cables

The existing NTND14 cables may be reused if they meet the requirements of
the Important box on page 71. If it is determined that existing NTND14
cables must be replaced on side 1, remove the existing cables and replace with
the correct length cables. Connect the NTND14 cables to the Fanout panel in
Core/Net 1 and the 3PE cards in each equipped network group shelf 1. See
Table 14 on page 73 and Figure 10 on page 75.

When upgrading to CP PII, it is important to know whether Network group 0
will be in the Core/Net module or not. In many installations, Group 0 will be
established in a standard Network shelf, and should occupy a higher Network
group in the Core/Net.

If Network group 0 will be in the Core/Net, the factory configuration of the
new Core/Net modules is correct, and no further action is required.

If Network Group 0 will not be in the Core/Net module, some
re-configuration of the processor module is required to allow for concurrent
or future use of the Network portion of the Core/Net for a higher Network
group.

The NT4N40 shelf is factory-installed with NT4N29 cables and is configured
as group 0. If the network portion of the Core/Net shelf is used as a higher

IMPORTANT!

When configuring NTND14 cables, observe the following
rules:

• The shortest NTND14 Cable should always be used.

• A network group requires 4 NTND14 cables, 2 to
each half group. Both cables to each half group must
be the same length.

• A check should be made on the existing NTND14
cables. Replace any cables that do not meet the
above requirement.

Note: The NTND14 BX 50' cables are manufacture
discontinued.

appropriate group. For correct connector replacement, see Figure 14 on

page 113.

WARNING

Damage to Equipment

Do not pry against the connector with the extraction tool.
Simply inserting the tool between the connector and the

Procedure 19
Connecting the shelf 1 FIJI Ring cables (descending)

Create Fiber Ring 1. Connect the FIJI cards in all Network shelves 1 in
descending order, from Tx to Rx (see Figure 11 on page 77 and Table 15 on

page 79).

CAUTION — Service Interruption

If FIJI card jumpers j6 and j7 are not set to “open” or
unused, numerous FIJI issues and ring failures may
occur.

IMPORTANT!

The shortest Fiber Cable must always be used.

The cables from group 0 to group 1 must always be the
same length as the cables from the last group back to
group 0.

The distance between the lengths of each fiber ring from
group 0 to any other group must not exceed 50'. Rings
are directional. Ring 0 is ascending and ring 1 is
descending.

Note: When adding an additional network group, fiber
cables must be changed to adhere to the rules above.
