You can use System Manager Solution Deployment Manager, the centralized upgrade solution, to upgrade Communication Manager.
You can upgrade Communication Manager from:
Note:
A manual upgrade is a full backup and restore using the Communication Manager SMI pages. This process is supported on all deployment options. Best practice prior to an upgrade is to copy the IP address, naming information, your certificates, your logins, scheduled backup, syslog settings, and SNMP configuration. You must be prepared to install these manually after the restore.
Fully automated upgrade using Solution Deployment Manager is not available for Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Release 5.x.
For upgrading Communication Manager from Release 6.x to Release 10.2.x, first upgrade the entire Aura Solution from 6.x to 8.1.x, and then upgrade the Aura Solution to Release 10.2.x. You cannot directly upgrade the Release 6.x system to Release 10.1 and later.
The full automated upgrade using Solution Deployment Manager can be used when migrating from Communication Manager 7.x or 8.x or 10.1.x to 10.2.x in a customer-provided VMware environment.
To upgrade Communication Manager using Solution Deployment Manager, you must have System Manager.
In case if the offer does not support Communication Manager upgrade using System Manager Solution Deployment Manager, you must upgrade the application manually.
