Chapter 1 CMS Configurations, Installations, and Upgrades Duration: 1.5 hours
Duration: 1.5 hours Chapter 1, Module 1
Chapter Objectives After you complete this chapter, you will be able to: • Identify the different CMS configurations a Business Partner might be required to administer for a customer.
R15 and R16 CMS Supported Platforms • For the first time, Avaya is selling and shipping two versions of CMS simultaneously. • R15 CMS is supported on the Sun Enterprise-V890, Netra-210, T5120, and T5220 platforms. • New R15 CMS installations are shipped on the T5120 and T5220.
R15 and R16 CMS Supported Platforms (Continued) • R16 CMS is supported on the T5120 and T5220 platforms. • R16 CMS uses RAID for file the system and IDS raw partitions – as opposed to R15 that uses disk mirroring and soft partitioning. • R16 systems are built with RAID 10 performance and redundancy hardware installed and configured.
New Installation vs. Platform Upgrade • Both are shipped as a new installation from the factory. • On R15 CMS, standard CMS software is installed by default; expanded AUX is optional software. • On R16 CMS, expanded AUX CMS software is the default and there is no other option. • A new installation is set up with new information from the customer. • A platform upgrade is typically set up to look like the existing CMS.
Baseload Upgrade • A baseload upgrade requires a PCN to be ordered from Avaya Maintenance. • PCN = Product Change Notice = bug fix load • They are customer installable, but typically not performed by a customer. • They are service affecting. Solaris patches and CMS software are updated.
Baseload Upgrade (Continued) • Overview of process: • Update Solaris patches and security script. • Remove and install Supplemental Services if necessary. • Remove CMS and say YES to preserve data. • Install new CMS (and patches). • Remove and install new Visual Vectors Server if necessary. • The process is documented in the Baseload Upgrade document: http://support.avaya.com/css/Products/P0030/Installation,%20Migrations,%20Upgrades%20&%20Configurations
CMS System Restore • A system restore might be required if a disk crashes or for other unforeseen circumstances. • A restore can be performed by the customer, but typically is not. • The process is documented in the Software Installation Maintenance and Troubleshooting document:http://support.avaya.com/css/Products/P0030/Installation,%20Migrations,%20Upgrades%20&%20Configurations
Chapter 1, Quiz 1 Which platforms are supported in R16 CMS? Which platforms are supported in R15 CMS? True or False: Both R15 and R16 CMS releases are shipped with RAID hardware on the T5120 platforms. True or False: CMS R15 is shipped with expanded AUX CMS as the default. True or False: If an existing customer needs a platform upgrade, the system is shipped from the factory as if it was a system for a new customer. True or False: An example of a baseload upgrade is an upgrade from R15 to R16 CMS. True or False: Both baseload upgrades and system restores can be performed by a customer.
CUE Upgrade: R15 vs. R16 CMS • A customer can upgrade to R15 CMS if the customer is on a supported platform. • A CMS Upgrade Express (CUE) upgrade includes CUE software and new hard drives. • Because of Solaris changes, the CUE process has changed since R14 CMS and earlier releases.
CUE Upgrade: R15 vs. R16 CMS (Continued) • R15 CUE: • Netra upgrades to R15 CMS – no changes from the past. • V890 upgrades require that the technician be on site to boot the CUE boot disk using the Solaris software DVD. • R16 CUE: • RAID hardware is always included and must be installed before the CUE upgrade can be performed. • Blank hard drives are shipped and the boot disk is built with a flash archive on the fly.
CUE Upgrade: R15 vs. R16 CMS (Continued) • R15 to R16 CUE upgrade: • The customer must already be on a T5120 or T5220. • R16 CUE kit is shipped with RAID hardware since R15 customers on these platforms did not require RAID.
CUE Upgrade: R15 vs. R16 CMS (Continued) • The CUE upgrade document is available for Avaya personnel only. • Upgrades are done by Avaya-authorized personnel based on the following conditions: • In the United States and Canada, only Avaya CMS Provisioning personnel do upgrades. Avaya CMS Provisioning is assisted by on-site Avaya technicians. • Outside the United States and Canada, Avaya-approved Business Partners or system integrators do upgrades.
Chapter 1, Quiz 2 True or False: If an R14 customer wants to upgrade to R16 CMS, the CUE process can be used. True or False: An R15 CUE kit is always shipped with RAID hardware that must be installed prior to the CUE upgrade. True or False: The CUE process documentation is available on the Avaya Support Web site. True or False: An R15 customer who is on a Netra 210 can use the CUE process to upgrade to R16 CMS.
High Availability (HA) CMS • Dual ACD links on the communication server. • Paired set of CMS servers each separately connected to one of the dual links, and through which simultaneous and identical sets of call data are received. • Separate network subnet connections for paired ACD-CMS combinations.
High Availability (HA) CMS (Continued) • Both platforms in a HA configuration should be identical models and must have the same/similar CMS software load. • Requires Avaya Professional Services admin sync software. • Avaya High Availability is documented at: http://support.avaya.com/css/Products/P0030/Installation,%20Migrations,%20Upgrades%20&%20Configurations
HA CMS Communication server CMS HA server Hub C-LAN/Ethernet port Ethernet port (port device hme0) C-LAN/Ethernet port (port device eri0) Ethernet port Customer network CMS HA server Ethernet port (port device eri0) (port device hme0) Ethernet port Hub
Survivable CMS • During normal operation, the survivable CMS operates in a “standby mode.” • CMS only collects ACD call data during a failover from the surviving environment controlled by the active ESS or LSP. • Requires Avaya Professional Services admin sync software.
Standard vs. Expanded AUX CMS • Standard CMS supports 10 AUX reason codes (0 to 9). • For R15 CMS, systems are shipped from the factory with this version installed. Optional expanded AUX software is shipped if the customer orders it. • For R16 CMS, all systems are shipped with Expanded AUX CMS and there is no other option.
Standard vs. Expanded AUX CMS (Continued) • Expanded AUX CMS supports more than 10 AUX reason codes (0 to 99). • For R15 CMS, all systems are shipped with Standard CMS installed. If there is expanded AUX CMS on the order, you’ll be required to remove Standard and install the Expanded AUX software. • For R15 CMS, 15-minute intervals are not supported with expanded AUX CMS. • In R16 CMS, expanded AUX CMS is the default and 15-minute intervals are supported.
Chapter 1, Quiz 3 True or False: HA and Survivable CMS both require Avaya Professional Services admin sync software. True or False: Survivable CMS simultaneously collects data as a backup to the primary CMS. True or False: 15-minute intervals are supported with expanded AUX CMS in both R15 and R16 CMS releases.
Chapter Summary Congratulations! Now you can: • Identify the different CMS configurations that you might be required to perform on a customer’s system.
