Upgrading the installation on the same Sun Blade 150 platform

To upgrade from Avaya IR R1.0 to Avaya IR R1.2 on the same Sun Blade 150 platform:

Important:
The tsc and craft login home directories are removed during migration from R1.0 to R1.2. To preserve the contents of these directories, back up the /export/home/tsc and /export/home/craft directories before beginning the migration process.

  1. Insert the CD labeled AVAYA IR Software Packages - CD 2 into the CD drive.
  2. Run the command:

    /cdrom/cdrom0/upgrade

  3. When prompted, confirm that you want to install the AVmigr package.
  4. When prompted, confirm that you want to shutdown to single user mode.

    The system begins to shutdown the system and identifies that you will need to enter the root password before you run the upgrade command.

  5. When prompted, type the root password and press Enter.
  6. Press Enter to accept the terminal type or enter the correct terminal type.
  7. At the command prompt, run the command:

    upgrade

    System messages describe the upgrade process.

  8. When prompted, press Enter to continue.

    The system prompts with the default file to be used to save the configuration.

  9. Press Enter to accept the default or specify another file name.

    The system saves the configuration. For a list of the configuration information that is saved, see Saving the configuration.

    Note:
    If you choose to specify a different file name, it is recommended that you place the file in the export directory because other directories may be modified during the upgrade process. You will not be allowed to use the /tmp directory.

  10. If NMS is installed on the system, confirm that you want to remove the listed packages.
  11. If NMS is installed on the system, confirm that you want to remove the AVnms package.

    The system removes the Avaya packages. It then installs a series of Solaris patches.

    Note:
    Installing the Solaris patches is a long process. Expect it to take close to 90 minutes.

    When the Solaris patches are installed, the system ejects the CD and prompts for the CD labeled AVAYA IR R1.2 Software Packages - CD 2. This is the same CD that you used in step 1.

  12. Return the CD to the drive and press Enter.

    Files are copied to the hard disk and CD 2 is ejected.

  13. Insert the CD labeled AVAYA IR R1.2 Core Packages - CD 3 and press Enter.

    More Sun and Avaya packages are installed. Adobe licensing information is displayed and accepted automatically. System message indicate encrypted packages that are not installed.

  14. When prompted, press Enter to accept the default file that contains the configuration information or specify the file name used to save the configuration.
  15. When prompted, confirm that you want to restore the configuration for each of the saved modules.

    You may see an error message if a feature needs a package that was not installed. These packages are not restored. When all modules are restored, the system lists the encrypted packages that need to be installed by the Avaya Provisioning team. It also includes a reminder to reinstall the Vonetix packages. CD 3 is ejected.

  16. When prompted, press Enter to reboot the system.

    The system shuts down and reboots.

  17. If missing or encrypted packages were identified, install those packages or arrange for Avaya Provisioning to install the encrypted packages.
  18. Run restore_conf to restore the configuration for the modules that were not previously restored. (see Restoring the configuration.)
  19. Check the configuration in Web Administration and make any corrections.
  20. Check the directories and files and copy any missing files.
