Step 9

Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software Version: Sample Output for uninstall.sh" section on page
Note
Install the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software Release 9.8 as described in the

Note
After the migration from Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3) CSCOgs027/CSCOnn027 to
Release 9.8(1) CSCOgs007/CSCOnn007 and later, there is a known issue of
/opt/CiscoMGC/lib/perl5/5.00503/vars.pm file. The workaround for this issue is to manually change
line 17 of vars.pm file from "if ($sym =~ tr/A-Za-Z_0-9//c) {" to "if ($sym =~ tr/A-Za-z_0-9//c) {" and
save the file.
Upgrading Lively from Sparc-based Platforms to Opteron-based
Platforms
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports a live upgrade from Sparc-based platforms to Opteron-based
platforms. There is no service outrage during the upgrade. The service and data on the Sparc-based
platforms are transferred seamlessly to the Opteron-based platforms.
Before You Start
Before you do the live upgrade from the old Sparc-based platforms to the new Opteron-based platforms,
make sure you have full access to the following platforms:
•
•
•
Verify if the two scripts, liveUpgrade.sh and mgcTTmigrate (Sparc-based platform scripts), are in the
/opt/CiscoMGC/local directory on PGW 1 and 2. If you cannot find them, you can download them from
the Cisco website.
To download the mgcTTmigrate script, follow the procedure in the
section, of the Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8(1). You can find the
mgcTTmigrate.981 script in system patches for 9.8(1) Sparc platforms. This script works for
Release 9.8(1) software on both Sparc and Opteron platforms. Rename the script to mgcTTmigrate after
you download it.
