This page always copies data from
the other server to this server.
It never sends data from the
current machine to a different machine.This screen is used to copy configuration settings (except for modem routes) from an already configured server to this one.
When copying settings from another server, you must indicate whether this server (the one you are logged into) is number 1 or number 2. The software will establish communications with the other server, copy the data to this server, then modify this server to be server1 or server2 (which ever you selected).

When you install an Avaya media server:
For a first-time installation: both media servers are initially assigned as server 1 through the factory default configuration. To configure them:
Log in to one of the servers (either one) and manually configure it to be server 1 as described below. Supply the correct IP addresses and other server information according to your preinstallation worksheet.
For a replacement media server: log into the replacement server and use this page to select whether it is server 1 or server 2. Next, copy the current configuration information from the existing server to the replacement server.
If you are reconfiguring a
media server that has already been configured for another site, first
use the Reset to Defaults screen to reset
the server's values to their default configuration before proceeding.
Failure to do so could cause IP address conflicts if a software upgrade
does not go smoothly. Always reset the defaults on a replacement server
to prevent possible disastrous consequences.
This option is always used to configure the first Avaya media server installed at a particular site, to modify the factory-default settings for this location. It may also be used to check or verify configuration settings for a system already in service.
Skip the Yes option and all the fields under it.
Select the No choice (do not copy from the duplicated server).
Click Continue.
If the other Avaya media server is already configured, you can copy the configuration settings from it to this server. Use this option to configure the second server in a new duplex system, or if you are configuring a replacement server in an operational system.
To copy settings from the duplicate server to this one:
Select the Yes option (to copy information from the duplicated server).
Change the default values shown to match those on your preinstallation worksheet.
In the server number field, select the number for the server you are currently logged into (1 or 2).
Ethernet interface number. Select the number of the physical Ethernet interface that connects the two servers (the duplication link). The default is 2.
IP address server 1. Type the IP address for server 1 from your worksheet. This address can vary per installation, but uses standard IP address dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.11.13.13).
IP address server 2. Type the IP address for server 1 from your worksheet. For example, 192.11.13.14.
Subnet mask. Enter the number shown on your worksheet (for example, 255.255.255.252).
Click Continue.
Wait until the copy operation succeeds or fails. When the buttons appear:
If the copy operation is successful, you can either:
Click the Manual edit button to page through the Configure Server wizard and verify the settings, or
Click the Modem configuration button to skip ahead to the Set Modem Interface screen. You must always configure the modem interface on each server.
If the copy operation did not complete successfully, you will see an error message. If this occurs, you can either:
Try to validate the connection to the other server, then attempt to copy the settings again. See Solving configuration problems for details.
Click the Manual edit button to enter the configuration information manually, beginning with the Set Server Identities screen.
