During the evolution of an enterprise communication network, it may be necessary to convert a standard server to a Survivable Core Server (ESS) or main server, a main server to a survivable core server, or a survivable core server to a main server.
The conversion procedures detail the specific steps required for the survivable core server feature only. Other steps (such as upgrading, re-mastering, or completely configuring a server) are found in standard documents that are referenced in this book.
For more information about conversions, see Converting Avaya Servers and Gateways.
Important:
The license file that is required for a conversion from a main server to a survivable core server or a survivable core server to a main server requires a special conversion process that must be performed by Avaya IT or by AGS.
