Job Aid: Repacing the S8300 Media Server or its hard drive Description of repacement scenarios When the S8300 hardware is repaced, you need to reconfigure the S8300 Server. The easiest way to do this is to back up the configuration data from the origina hardware and do a fu restore to the new hardware. Scenario 8 is the common repacement scenario in which the od and new hardware and software versions are the same. However, for scenarios 1, 3, and 6, the origina and new hardware are running different software reeases. In these scenarios, you wi need to do a software upgrade (on the origina hardware for 1 and on the new hardware for 3 and 6) to make the software reeases the same. In scenario 6, since the hardware is not functiona, you cannot do a backup so you must restore the atest avaiabe backup. To do these upgrades, you must have a CD containing the appropriate server software oad. The software oad is typicay be the atest GA bug-fix oad, but it coud be an earier oad depending on what is required to make the software reeases the same on the origina and new hardware. For scenarios 2 and 5, the origina and new hardware are running the same software reease so no upgrades are required. For scenario 5, you must restore the atest avaiabe backup. For scenario 4, you cannot use the atest avaiabe backup to restore the configuration data. (You cannot upgrade the origina hardware or backup the configuration data because the hardware is not functiona. You cannot do a fu restore of the atest avaiabe backup because the origina and new hardware have different software reeases). In this scenario, you must do a fu configuration using the Instaation Wizard or the Maintenance Web Interface and restore just the transations and AUDIX fies from the atest avaiabe backup. For scenario 7, you (and the customer) do not know the software reease on the origina hardware, and you are unabe to check the software reease because the hardware is not functiona. In this case, you must foow the repacement procedure in scenario 4, with the additiona step of upgrading the new hardware to the atest GA bug-fix oad, if that oad is not aready instaed on the new hardware. This upgrade step ensures that the system is not downgraded in case the origina hardware had the atest GA bug-fix oad instaed. Before going to the customer site Perform the foowing steps before going to the customer site: 1. Downoad the current icense fie and authentication (password) fie from the RFA website. The icense fie must be associated with the seria number of the G700 in which the defective hardware resides. Save the icense and authentication fies on the aptop that you use at the customer site. 6 Job Aid: Repacing the S8300 Media Server or its Hard Drive
Before you go to the site 2. For scenarios 4 and 7 if the origina hardware is not functiona, and the origina hardware has an earier (or unknown) software reease than the reease instaed on the new hardware, then you need to do a fu configuration (rather than a fu restore). Create a pre-instaation server worksheet when configuring the S8300 after hardware repacement. There is an eectronic version and a printabe version of the pre-instaation worksheet: The eectronic version is used with the Instaation Wizard to directy oad the configuration data onto the S8300. The printabe version is used to record the configuration data, which is then manuay entered into the screens of the Instaation Wizard or the Maintenance Web Interface. The eectronic version, used with the Instaation Wizard, is recommended because it simpifies the data-entry task and is more accurate. You can obtain the pre-instaation worksheet from http://support.avaya.com/. You do not need to create a pre-instaation worksheet for the other scenarios (1, 2, 3, 5, and 6). 3. For scenario 7 if the software reease on the origina hardware is unknown, check to see if the software reease on the new hardware is the atest GA bug-fix oad. If not, obtain a CD with the atest GA bug-fix oad. 4. Determine backup ocation, 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 reease of the server software to be used for upgrading the origina or new hardware. (The appropriate reease is whatever makes the reeases on the origina 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 wi be needed and, if so, downoad the appropriate software service pack to your aptop. 8. If the new hardware has a reease of the server software that is ater than the reease instaed on the origina hardware, you may need to upgrade the G700 firmware. If you need to upgrade the G700 firmware, go to the Avaya Support Web site (http:// support.avaya.com/downoads) then choose G700 Media Gateway. Instructions for upgrading the G700 firmware are in Job Aid: Firmware Downoad Procedure for the G700 Media Gateway, 555-245-758. 555-245-753 Issue 5.0 January 2008 7

If the previous steps indicate that the S8300 hardware may not be functiona, unseat and reseat the S8300 server and repeat Steps a - d above. If you do not get the Wecome screen in Step b or if the View Partition Status tabe is not dispayed in Step d, then the S8300 hardware is not functiona. If the S8300 hardware is not functiona, skip Step 2 and Step 3 and continue with Step 4. 2. Check to see if the new hardware has a higher software reease than the current system. If so, upgrade the server software on the origina hardware to the same reease as is on the new hardware. This appies to dot reeases as we as major reeases. 8 Job Aid: Repacing the S8300 Media Server or its Hard Drive
