Manual upgrade overview

Last Updated : Nov 27, 2022 |

This section provides information about the tasks that you must perform for manual upgrade of Avaya Breeze® platform nodes and Avaya Oceana® snap-ins.

Note:
  • This is the standard method of upgrading Avaya Breeze® platform nodes and Avaya Oceana® snap-ins if the automated upgrade method is not used.

  • If you have already performed a successful automated upgrade, you do not need to do the manual upgrade.

The high-level tasks of the manual upgrade process are:

  • Replacing Engagement Designer workflows and tasks to take the advantage of performance improvements, new features, and capabilities.

  • Setting the cluster state of all clusters to Denying so that the clusters do not serve any service requests.

  • Uninstalling the older versions of all services from clusters so that you can install their latest versions.

  • Manually recording the current OceanaConfiguration service attributes.

    Important:

    By using a configuration service, you can configure all the SVAR attributes in a single step. However, if you have set individual SVAR attributes outside the configuration service, you must update all those attributes.

  • Editing service profiles in System Manager to remove EngagementDesigner and AvayaMobileCommunications snap-ins from service profiles.

  • Deleting the older versions of all services from System Manager so that System Manager does not display their older versions.

  • Upgrading all Avaya Breeze® platform nodes.

  • Loading the latest versions of all services of Avaya Oceana® in System Manager.
