We have a customer that needs the IP Office Primary 11.1.3 moved from VMware 7.0 to VMware 8.0.... a new VMware host server. My new Primary is already up and ready to go.
Backup and Restore is not an option. Long story short, it's broken and Avaya is useless.
I have no problem moving the VMPro over via WinSCP and SSH commands, already done. Customer is aware of shortcomings with this method.
The unknown here is introducing a new Primary into the SCN. I cannot right-click and Delete the Primary, that is an option with the Secondary and all the Expansions. The IP will be the same as the retiring Primary.
My guess is I have to run the Initial Config Utility on Secondary and all Expansions (retain config), and tell them who the new Primary is.
Has anyone had to replace a Primary with a new server?
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
