This topic provides an overview of an MGC installation, upgrade, and registration process.
Before you begin
Before you upgrade an existing MGC that is running the CS 1000 software, enable the Enable legacy loadware upgrades attribute on the System Manager. The Enable legacy loadware upgrades attribute temporarily enables a program on the Avaya Breeze® platform node that accepts MGC registrations using the sunPRC protocol. The sunPRC protocol is the old CS 1000 call server protocol used to register and upgrade an MGC.
If you want to replace an existing MGC or add an additional MGC from the factory, enable the Enable legacy loadware upgrades attribute on System Manager. MGCs that are shipped from the factory are programmed using the CS 1000 version of the MGC software. These MGCs require an upgrade to the Device Adapter software using the Enable legacy loadware upgrades attribute.
  1. Log in to MGC by using SSH.
  2. At the MGC CLI command prompt, run the following command to turn off central authentication on CS 1000 and leave the security domain:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    leaveSecDomain
  3. After the security domain is removed, use the local authentication password until the MGC registers to Device Adapter.
  4. Change the call server IP address to Avaya Breeze® platform cluster IP address.
  5. MGC reboots and registers to Device Adapter using sunRPC and upgrades the loadware.
  6. MGC again reboots and re-registers to Device Adapter using pbxLink.
  7. If you encounter problems during the registration, do the following:
    1. Run the following command to revert to CS 1000 call server:
      ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
      ldb>swapActivePartition
      value = 0 = 0*0
    2. Use the following command to change the call server IP address to CS 1000 IP address:
      ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
      mgcsetup
Next steps
After the MGC registers to Device Adapter, disable the Enable legacy loadware upgrades attribute on System Manager.
