Upgrade Avaya Servers to RHEL 8.10

[rtsoi]

Avaya Support has advised us to upgrade our servers from RHEL 8.4 to 8.10 to address security vulnerabilities.

Is there a guide on how to do this?

Thanks

Yes - follow the SSP guidance for each product released with the RHEL 8.10 patch/update.

Sorry, I forgot to specify this is for CMS, not Communication Manager.

Minimum ask would be to provide the exact system and release you are referencing. You'll need to research "base load upgrade" using the upgrade docs for your specific version. Assuming R20 or R21, if you're already on R21, you wont need a new license. If you are on R20, you'll need a license and might have to pay for the license.
