Note:
For migration from Release 8.1.3.2 or Release 10.1.0.0 (Legacy boot) to Release 10.2.1, do not run the pre-upgrade check.
You must use the migration procedures found in the chapter Upgrading or Migrating a system to Avaya SBC Release 10.2.1 for any of the following deployment types or special conditions:
  • JTIC deployments on any type of platform or cloud service.
  • KVM or Nutanix deployments on a Virtualized Environment Platform
  • Any deployments that return the partition size or unsupported hardware error messages when running the pre-upgrade check tool.
  • Any deployments on cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft® Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
You cannot use the standard upgrade process on these deployment types.
