The software versions and levels on primary and DR sites must be identical for planned switchover and switchback testing.

You must validate the following applications and platforms:

• Avaya Aura® System Manager

• Avaya Control Manager

• Avaya Breeze® platform

• Avaya Aura® Communication Manager and ESS

• Avaya Aura® Application Enablement Services

• Avaya Analytics™

• Avaya Oceana® Snap-ins

  • Snap-in versions on primary and DR must be identical before starting a switchover.

There may be different software versions during the upgrade process for software upgrade maintenance windows. Ensure that DC1 and DC2 applications are at the same software release version before you re-enable solution replication from each application in DC1 to DC2. The software versions of the applications in DC1 and DC2 must be the same for replication to work between the two applications.

Create a table to record the software versions of each application for primary and DR sites. This step is unnecessary for unplanned maintenance windows due to application failures.
