Run the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the primary controller, LSPs, and G700 media gateways
Issue 9.1 June 2006 331
Use the following guidelines to setup the upgrade:
● If the customer uses a common logon ID and password for multiple gateways, complete
the Common G350/G700 Logon Values fields.
● If the customer has a centralized TFTP server for use by multiple G700 or G350 Media
Gateways or the customer has a centralized FTP server for use by multiple G350 Media
Gateways, complete the Common TFTP/FTP Server Values fields.
● Use the Max Sessions field to specify how many gateways can be simultaneously
connected to a TFTP or a FTP server for upgrading. The number must be between one
and 20 inclusive. If you do not specify a number, the Upgrade Tool defaults to six.
● If any gateways require unique logon values or unique TFTP servers, complete the
Override Common Values for G350 and G700 Targets fields. You can enter override
values for the following:
- The IP address of the unique TFTP server.
- The completed path to the directory from the root of the TFTP server.
- The logon information for the gateway.
● If any override fields are left blank, the values entered in the Common fields are used.
● Some upgrades may time out due to network traffic and limitations on how long the
Upgrade Tool will allow an upgrade to continue. The upgrade of a single LSP has a limit
of one hour. The upgrade of a media gateway has a limit of 30 minutes.
● Since the media gateway (MGP) firmware files are fairly large they may cause a timeout
during an upgrade to a remote location. What you enter in the TFTP Directory field
depends on the type of TFTP server you are using. If the TFTP server is:
- An S8300 or an LSP, enter the path to the firmware files relative to the /tftpboot
directory. For example, if the firmware files are in /tftpboot/cm3.0/318.0, enter cm3.0/
318.0.
Note:
Note: If the files are in the /tftpboot directory on the S8300 server/LSP and there is no
subdirectory, leave the TFTP Directory field blank.
- An Avaya Windows server, enter the path of the outbound source for the TFTP server
specified to be accessed. For example, if the firmware files reside in the directory c:
ftp_outbound\cm3.0\340.3 and the TFTP server application is configured to have its
outbound source as c:ftp_outbound, then you would enter cm3.0\340.3 as the value in
the TFTP Directory field.
Note:
Note: If the files are in /tftpboot directory on the Avaya server and there is no
subdirectory, leave the TFTP Directory field blank.
- A customer server, ask the customer how their TFTP server is set up.
