Just curious about how many of you have upgraded/migrated an Option 61C (or other large system for that matter) to a CS1000E. We're in the middle of such an upgrade, converting eight IPEs to media gateways off a CS1000E run by six CPPMs inside three MG1010 cabinets; two cores, and four application servers (UCM x 2, Element Manager x 2, Signaling Servers x 2 and an NRS - some cards have multiple applications). We attempted the upgrade last night and had a problem with the ways the MG XPECs were built in the switch, MGC instead of MGX. We called off the upgrade to take everything out, modify the programming and put it all back in. We utilized our window of opportunity to get the I/O panels all swapped out and MG XPEC cards configured. Before putting the 61C back in service we fired up an IPE with an MG XPEC card. We had problems registering it to the security server (self induced we later discovered). We called Nortel for support and got three gentlemen on the line. They hadn't neard of an MG XPEC card. In fact they asked if that was what we were referring to it as or if it actually said that on the face plate. It got me to wonder how many people are using them.
If you've done something similar to this upgrade did it all go smoothly? I'll know how ours went in a few hours.
