Upgrading the Device Adapter Snap-in

Last Updated : Dec 23, 2022 |
Prolog information
Before you begin
  • Ensure that you have upgraded Avaya Breeze® platform to a release that is compatible with the Device Adapter Snap-in Release 10.1.x.
  • You must disable IP security before upgrading the Device Adapter Snap-in.
    To disable IP security, set the Enable IPsec for Media Gateways service attribute to No. For more information, see Service attributes.
    If you do not disable IP security before upgrading the Device Adapter Snap-in, the MGCs and MGXPECs cannot register to the TPS service after the Device Adapter Snap-in is upgraded.
  1. Upload the new Device Adapter.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For more information, see Loading the snap-in.
    Avaya recommends that you do not delete the snapshot of Device Adapter snap-in Release 8.1.x without verifying the working of Device Adapter snap-in Release 10.1.x.
  2. On System Manager, click Elements Avaya Breeze®Cluster Administration .
  3. On the Cluster Administration page, select the cluster on which you want to upgrade the Device Adapter snap-in, and then click Edit.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    CS 1000 and Device Adapter snap-in Release 8.1.1 and earlier saves the imported contacts in the cluster database whereas Device Adapter snap-in Release 10.1.x saves the contacts in the PPM.
  4. On the Cluster Editor page, click the Services tab.
  5. In the Assigned Services area, click on the Uninstall / Force Uninstall link corresponding to the existing Device Adapter snap-in to remove the snap-in.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    You must uninstall an existing Device Adapter snap-in because only one Device Adapter snap-in can remain installed at one time.
  6. In the Available Services area, click the plus sign (+) corresponding to the Device Adapter snap-in that you uploaded in Step 1.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The Device Adapter snap-in is shown in the Assigned Services area.
  7. Click Commit.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Clicking the Commit button uninstalls the old snap-in and installs the new snap-in, which is service impacting.
    The sets unregister during this procedure. MGCs restart and TDM calls are lost. However, existing UNIStim calls remain intact.
    The down time for the Avaya Breeze® platform server is approximately 6-8 minutes.
  8. Verify that the Device Adapter snap-in is installed correctly and calls can be made on both UNIStim and TDM sets.
Next steps
