MM Upgrade

[Hudson22]

All,
I have a customer who wants to upgrade their S3500 MM3.1 MAS with MSS backend to MM5.2. Here's the problem, they want to keep the S3500 MAS and software upgrade it only to MM5.2, and then migrate the S3500 MSS 3.1 to S8800 MSS 5.2.

I'm thinking this isn't supported by Avaya, has anyone seen this or thinks it will work?

thanks in advance,
Hudson22

To your question - I don't have the answer. Sorry.

But, why not just bring them right up to Aura Messaging? Then (I believe) it will reside all on the S8800 and you won't need the MAS.





Thanks,

It's not up to me,
From the MM ATAC, some of these have been painfully done, but they do not recommend it.

thanks,

Our environment is S3500's at 5.2...

Sounds like they're staging for Aura Messaging. Did they also purchase +U against their licenses?

Just curious.

we went from MM 3.1 to MM 5.2 on approximately 12 systems and all are S3500 servers. According to AVAYA roadmap this will only allow me to continue using these until October November of 2012 when they are no longer supported Equipment and Software wise. They are requiring us to go to AVAYA Aura with a full forklift upgrade in 2012. So ... is the money worth you going from 3.1 to 5.2 only to have to spend more in 2012? your call.

I am going thru the same issue here in Canada. We areforced to go to s8800 servers and also to go to sip integration. We are using a Mediant Audio-Code 1000 interface. I am installing as new and when it is working to the customer is satified we will do the migration.
I just finished a s3500 4-mas/ s3500 mss upgrade 36 hrs to mm5.2
