10.9 Upgrading Aastra 5000 Server R5.2 software
Note : See also Aastra Management Portal operating manual
10.9.1 Principle
This procedure applies to systems already working in R5.2 and which the user wishes to
upgrade to a release above R5.2.
A backup must be made before starting the upgrade procedure.
The software licence associated with the working R5.2 will be retained for upgrade to later
releases.
The different modes are:
•From AMP,
• From Aastra Management AM 7450 (TBC).
Nota : During the restart phase following the upgrade phase, communications are
interrupted.
10.9.2 Upgrading the software from AMP
A software upgrade may be of several types:
• New and complete officially available release (SA), example:
X_A5000_R5.2_SP1_B700.tar.gz
• Software upgrade for a given SA release, which corresponds to functional
enhancements, example: X_A5000_R5.2_RC_D101.tar.gz
• Upgrade for a given release, which only corresponds to anomaly corrections, example:
X_A5000_R5.2_SP1_B701.tar.gz.
The A5000_Infra software delivery directory may, therefore, contain several directory
types corresponding to these different types of upgrade:
• Upgrade for software upgrade releases
• Delta for anomaly corrections.
These software elements will be loaded on the Compact Flash card located on the Aastra
series CPU card.
The A5000 Server application software is upgraded from the AMP, menu
SYSTEM>Software maintenance>Upgrade.
Linux Redhat 5.4 is upgraded on the PC on which A5000 Server is installed.
