hi bigjohn8210,is s8700

With an 8700 about an hour or so total, assuming no issues occuring. Although there are only a couple of minutes service interruption when you do the first interchange.

8500 is faster and 8300 is slower, but there is only one processor in those cases to upgrade...

You must give yourself at least a two hour window. As you will have to upload patches as well and sometimes things dont go as planned. Make sure you load the patch for 2.01 upgrade to 2.1.1 or you will get corruption.

S8700 is duplation,when i upgrade may cut them then upgrade each other one by one? so will spend double time. patch download from support.avaya.com.

There is very little downtime when upgrade the s8700. Only when servers are interchanging and you have calls between port networks. I just did one recently. Basically:
1) Log into standby server
2) Busy Server
3) Remove old patch
4) Install new patch
5) Activate New patch
6) Release Server
7) Interchange server
8) Repeat Steps 1-6.

You can do this remotely at home if all the patches were loaded in advance.

mrjedi is right on. doesn't take long at all. and for the upgrade challenged, you can use the wizard instead of command line. only down time is the hard interchange from the upgraded standby server to the old load active server.
