Replacing the Avaya S8500

Media Server—Release 2.0 and

Later

This job aid describes the steps required to replace an Avaya S8500 Media Server running Release 2.0

and later of Communication Manager. You should replace the media server only to correct a problem,

such as a functional failure of the motherboard, the hard drive, or other components.

The hard drive in the replacement media server comes blank. If you are using this blank hard drive, you

must install the software from the CD-ROM that the customer received from an earlier installation of

Release 2.0 software. The software CD-ROM contains the Linux operating system and the appropriate

release of Avaya Communication Manager.

If the hard drive in the failed media server is good, you can replace the blank hard drive in the

replacement media server with the old hard drive.

Required Equipment

Verify that you have the following equipment and tools on site:

•Replacement S8500 Media Server

•CD-ROM with the software load (from the customer) if not reusing the hard drive

•Ethernet crossover cable for direct connection of your laptop to the media servers

•Flat-head screwdriver

•Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver

•Electrostatic wrist ground strap and mat

•Paper clip

Pre-site tasks

Before you go on site, verify that the following tasks are done.

•Ask the customer for the Product ID for the media server being replaced. If the customer does not

have it, run the Automatic Registration Tool (ART) to obtain the Product ID number and port

number (customer dial-up) for the replacement media server.

•If the customer is using SNMP for alarming, you will need to get the IP addresses and community

names from the customer because the SNMP programming is not saved after the replacement.

555-245-762, Issue 1 December 2003

•If using the blank hard drive that comes with the media server, verify that you have the correct

software and software update (patch). You must install the software on the replacement media

server, and you may need to install a software update (patch).

•If using the blank hard drive that comes with the media server, verify that you have the current

license and Avaya authentication files to install on the replacement media server. Go to the

Remote Feature Activation (RFA) Web site to get them (http://rfa.avaya.com).

•Verify that the customer has a recent backup of all the system and translation files. This is critical

if the hard drive is not functional.

•Verify with the customer that you have access permissions to backup and restore the data from the

network server.

Media server considerations

If the hard drive in the failed media server is good, go to Table 3, Initial tasks for replacing an S8500

Media Server reusing the original hard drive,on page 4.

If the hard drive is unusable, perform the tasks in Table 2, Initial tasks for replacing a hard drive in a

failed S8500 Media Server (if functional),on page 3 only if the hard drive is functional.

If the hard drive is not functional, skip these steps, but make sure the customer has a recent backup of the

system files and translations that you can restore after you have replaced the hard drive. If not, the media

server needs to be reconfigured and translations input as if it were a new installation. See Installing the

Avaya S8500 Media Server with the Avaya G650 Media Gateway (555-245-107) for detailed procedures.

Additionally, some illustrations of software installation and configuration information appear later in this

document.

Checklist 1. Pre-site tasks for replacing an S8500 Media Server

9Task Description

1 Obtain CD-ROM with the correct

software release Retrieve from the customer a CD-ROM containing Release 2.0 of

Communication Manager.

2Get software update (patch), if

appropriate The Communication Manager software update (patch) file may be

available on the CD-ROM. Otherwise, download it to your laptop

the types of data and dates. Verify that there is a recent,

successful backup of the system files and translations.

4Record alarms and verify hard

drive functionality Under Alarms, click Current Alarms.Note alarms on the media

server not related to the hard drive.

In the Server alarms section check the Source Listing column for

a HARD DISK entry. If it is there, then the hard drive is failing

and cannot be reused.

5 Back up the system files If the customer does not have a recent backup, you must back up

the files so they can be restored later. Under Data

Backup/Restore, click Backup Now.

Select "Server and System Files," "Security Files,""Avaya Call

Processing (ACP) Translations," and "Save ACP translations

prior to backup."

Select the backup method normally used.

Click Start Backup to begin the back up process.

6Record the OSSI numbers (used

when the system dials out to

report alarms)

If the customer does not have these numbers, open a Telnet

session by typing telnet and press Enter.

Type almenable and press Enter.

Record the numbers.

Type exit and press Enter to close Telnet session.

Checklist 4. Tasks for replacing an S8500 Media Server

9Task Description

1 Shut down the media server If the hard drive is functional, under Server, click Shutdown This

Server then unclick Restart Server after Shutdown. Press the power-

control button on the front of the server. The internal fan shuts off.

Caution: Do not unplug a functioning server without stopping all

processes first. Failure to do this corrupts the hard drive. This is

especially important if reusing the hard drive.

Caution: Do not hold down the power button for more than a split

second. Holding the button down too long causes the media server to

reboot.

2Unplug the media server Once the media server is completely shut down, unplug the power

cords from the media server and RSA.

Caution: Do not unplug a functioning server without stopping all

processes first. Failure to do this corrupts the hard drive. This is

especially important if reusing the hard drive.

Disconnect and label the LAN connections from the Ethernet ports

on the RSA and dual NIC (if used)

Disconnect all attached devices, including the laptop, both modems,

and the external flashcard reader (if used).

3 Remove the media server from

the rack See Removing the S8500 Media Server from the rack on page 11

4Remove the cover of the media

server See Removing the cover of the media server on page 11.

5 Replace components in the

replacement media server You need to replace the RSA in the replacement media server with

the original one from the failed media server. See Reusing the

Remote Supervisor Adapter on page 14

If the failed media server has the optional dual NIC, you must move

it to the replacement media server. See Reusing the optional network

interface card, if being used on page 16.

If the hard drive in the failed media server is good, you must replace

the one in the replacement media server with the original one from

the failed media server. See Reusing the hard drive on page 12.

Final tasks

If you are reusing the old hard drive, follow the procedure in Final tasks for replacing an S8500 Media

Server reusing the original hard drive on page 10.

If not reusing the old hard drive, you must install the Linux operating system and Avaya Communication

Manager on the blank hard drive, then restore the backed up system files to the media server. Follow the

procedure in Final tasks for replacing an S8500 Media Server using the blank hard drive on page 7

Except where noted in the following checklist, see Upgrading Software and Firmware— Avaya S8500

555-233-825, Issue 3, for details on the tasks.

8Note: Skip this step if reusing the

original hard drive.

Insert the software CD-ROM in

the CD-ROM drive of the media

server, if using the blank hard

drive

Use an end on the paper clip to push the button to open the CD-

ROM drawer. Place the Communication Manager CD in the drawer

and close it.

The software CD-ROM contains boot software that the media server

automatically accesses when you power up the media server.

9 Power up the media server. Plug the power cords into the media server and RSA. Press the

power-control button on the front of the media server.

Note: Wait at least 3 minutes for the media server to complete its

power up. Watch the power-on LED on the media server.

10 Reconnect attached devices Reconnect the LAN connections to the Ethernet ports on the RSA

and dual NIC (if used).

Reconnect all attached devices, including the laptop, both modems,

and the external flashcard reader (if used).

11 Note: Skip this step if using a

new hard drive.

Test the hard drive

Using a SAT screen, type list station, list trunk, list hunt, and list

data.
