CM 2 upgrade to CM 5 question

[evoguy]

With CM 2 and an S8300 V3 / G700 media gateway combination whats the latest CM 5 release i can migrate to?

CM 5.2 just recently came out, I have installed it on a few systems already.

If you have an SSO login to the AVAYA download center, you can download the CM 5.2 ISO, and burn your own CD:

is there a specific migration path that i have to take to upgrade to CM5?

If you have less than an 8300C card you'll have to upgrade it. 8300B and less won't take 5.x

Favorite all too common vendor responses: "We've never seen this issue before." AND "No one's ever wanted to use it like that before.

Hey Stinney thanks alot I know where i have to go from here.

 

[Mitch672]

the S8300B runs CM 5.2 just fine, but, only in "standard" memory model, it will not support "large" memory model, so it cannot be an LSP of an S8730 running CM 5.2, which only supports "large" memory model.

A standalone S8300B works fine for CM 5.2, I have it loaded on several of them already.

My bad. Wasn't considering our environment compared to evoguy's.

not a problem stinney thanks Mitch672 for your clarification.

 

[evoguy]

question...can the S8300B be an LSP to another S8300B?

 

[Mitch672]

Yes, no problem evoguy. we have several setup that way.

eventually, the S8300B will have to be replaced with an S8300C (or the newer S8300D now), probably by CM 6 or beyond, they have not announced anything yet. for now the S8300B works, so why spend money upgrading it now, when it's not needed.

Can I jump in on this - is there a specific path to go from CM2 to CM5 - do you have to go to 3 or 4 first ?

I'm doing one which is an S8300B on CM2.2 going to CM5.x, this will then be the main system with an S8300/G450 running as an LSP off it - will this work okay?

Can someone answer these 2 questions

Thanks!
