Communication Manager 7.1 Security & Kernel Patch Updates

[dignoffo]

We are running CM version 7.01.0.532-24515.

Avaya recently released a SSP & KSP 7. PCN states that patch 25925 must be activated prior to applying the SSP & KSP 7.

Does that mean that patch 25925 gets applied over 24515 FP3 as a patch overwrite before applying the SSP & KSP #7?

There is also a specific overwrite patch 24120 for S8300D servers before applying SSP & KSP 7.

The PCN should provide this information. From PCN2085 - Security Service Packs are independent of other Communication Manager software updates activated on a server including CM Service Packs, Kernel Service Packs, over-writable patches or custom patches. None of these other software updates should be deactivated before installing a Security Service Pack

jimbojimbo,

Thank you.

Other than the 8300D overwrite patch 24120 which must be applied via the CLI according to the Avaya PCN, all other CM patches running on HP DL360 servers can be applied via SMI correct?
