    3. Unzip both the parts of the cluster in the same directory using commandsunzip 10_RecommendedDec09_Part1.zipunzip 10_RecommendedDec09_Part2.zip

    4. Change directory to 10_Recommended using command " cd 10_Recommended ".

    5. Read the complete CLUSTER_README file using command "less

    CLUSTER_README".6. Issue the following commands to Stop the voice system:

    stop_vsstop_wait

    If local oracle is installed, issue the following commands to stop oracle:orastatstop_ora oracle

    Save the configuration of the current system to a single XML file.save_conf

    Flush all data from all UFS file systems to the disk before continuing:lockfs -fa

    7. Change the run level of the Solaris 10 system to a single user mode usingthe command "init s".

    Note that Single user mode requires access to the console.init s

    Enter root password again when prompted.

    8. Issue the following command to change to 10_Recommended directorycd /unused1/10_Recommended

    9. Install the cluster using command "./install_cluster --s10cluster ".

    10. It will take around 60 Minutes for the complete patch cluster installation. Typefollowing commands at console prompt to restart the Solaris system

    /usr/bin/lockfs fa /usr/bin/reboot

    Note : You may be prompted to several questions during the Patch ClusterInstallation. Please answer all of them as Y. You must review the patchcluster log after installation. The patch cluster is located under/var/sadm/install_data/s10s_rec_cluster_verbose_2009.10.22_14.42.35.log

    ************** CAUTION **************

    The cluster installation script may need to be invoked up to two times(with a reboot in between) if patching an active boot environment,depending on the patch level of the target system.

    If the OS software is Solaris 10 11/6 then patch cluster installation

    should be run twice with a reboot in-between.

    If this patch cluster is applied to an active boot environment that isrunning a kernel at a patch level below 118833-36, the cluster installationscript will need to be invoked twice. Two reconfiguration reboots('reboot -- -r') are required: one reboot after each invocation of theinstallation script.

    The two reconfiguration reboots are necessary because no more patches can be applied after installing patch 118833-36 until the systemis rebooted. All subsequent patches in this patch cluster will fail toinstall until the system is rebooted. To complete the patch clusterinstallation, perform a reconfiguration reboot of the system and theninvoke the cluster install script again.

    Refer to the CLUSTER_README file for more details on the Patch Clustercontents. You could use the command "less CLUSTER_README" to read thefile.

    Installing IR 3.0 Service Pack 7

    Following section details instructions for installing the IR30 Service Pack 7. Pleaseensure that you have taken a full system backup before proceeding with the Service

    Pack 7 installation. Please also refer to the IR30 Service Pack 7 README file formore details.

    Information about the ir30sp7_install installation utility:

    The following steps are performed by this install script. (This script does not take anyparameters):

    1) If the script is not called from

    $IR_HOME/export/optional_features/AvayaIR30SP7, as in the installationinstructions above, then it will attempt to create this directory, and copy thecontents from the current directory to this, which is its permanent location.

    2) Adds ir30sp7 package.

    3) Updates the CLASSES parameter of this package to list all the IR relatedpackages, which were installed at the time of running the script. This can beverified after adding ir30sp7 by the command:

    pkgparam ir30sp7 CLASSES

    Note : A CLASS is associated with each IR package and consists of the packagename with the "AV" prefix removed. For e.g. class for AVnms is nms, for

    AVmrcpasr is mrcpasr. However, for AVvoicxml2-0, it is "vxml". Ignore"none".

    4) Adds a parameter IRSPVER having value "sp7" to all IR related packages whichwere installed at the time of installing ir30sp7 (ebs* packages are not modified).This can be verified using " pkgparam IRSPVER ". It helps inidentifying IR packages, which were installed after installation of the service pack.

    5) Adds a parameter MODBYSP as well to all IR related packages, which wereinstalled at the time of adding ir30sp7. This parameter will have a value "yes" forthose packages whose files have been modified by ir30sp7. E.g. if the file nmsip

    (which is a part of AVnms) has been updated by ir30sp7, and if AVnms wasinstalled at the time of adding ir30sp7, then AVnms will have an additionalparameter called MODBYSP having its value set to "yes". If the package was notupdated by the service pack, the value of this parameter is set to "no". This valuecan be checked by the command: " pkgparam MODBYSP ". Thisparameter helps in keeping track of packages, which were updated by the SP7.

    6) Creates a log file /var/sadm/install/logs/irspinstall_ dd_mon_yyyy. log .

    7) You will be asked several questions while the Service Pack installs on yoursystem. Answer them appropriately.

    8) After the Service Pack has been successfully installed, reboot the IR systemusing command shutdown -y -i6 -g0

    9) You can use the following command to list the currently installed IR relatedpackages on the Solaris system:

    pkginfo c ivr

    Package adding Utility for AVir packages:

    ir-pkgadd

    This script should be used to add IR related packages after IR30SP7 is added.

    AVdm package cannot be added using ir-pkgadd. ebs* and tdd packages cannot be added using ir-pkgadd.

    AVdb10g30 package cannot be added using ir-pkgadd.

    The ir-pkgadd utility does the following:

    1) Checks for the following conditions and exits if any one is true:

    a) IR 3.0 is not installed.b) Voice system is running.

    c) The package specified as the parameter to this script is not an IR package(starting with AV and should exist in $IR_HOME/export/optional_featuresdirectory)

    d) The package is already installed.e) The directory $IR_HOME /export/optional_features/AvayaIR30SP7/ir30sp7 does

    not exist.

    2) For each package mentioned in the script's parameter, it will do the following:

    a) Add the package (using pkgadd).b) If any files of this package are matching with files in ir30sp7, then those files

    are added to the archive $IR_HOME/vs/data/.ir30sp7_backout/ir30sp7.tar.

    c) These files (from the added package) are then replaced by correspondingfiles from ir30sp7.d) The parameters IRSPVER and MODBYSP are added to this packagee) The class name for this package is added to the CLASSES parameter of

    ir30sp7. (The class name for an IR package is the name of the packagewithout it is initial AV characters. e.g. AVnms has its class as nms.

    AVvoicxml2-0 is an exception as its class name is vxml and not voicxml2-0).

    3) If a package is specified twice in the parameters to this script, then it is addedonly once.

    4) The logs are created in the directory /var/sadm/install/logs/irpkgadd.log

    5) Please note that after adding AVnms package, nms.install MUST be runmanually.

    5. Software updatesThe following list describes the changes Service Pack 7 makes to IR30software modules.Please refer to the README file for more details on the individual features /enhancements / fixes. The IR30 Service Pack 7 README file is located at thefollowing location:/AvayaIR30SP7/ir30sp7_README.txt.

    AVasai

    Service Pack 1 Fixes :

    1. Enhancement to support last VDN number as DNIS number for a call record.This feature is made configurable by adding following line to the end of the$IR_HOME/vs/data/asai/Parameters file:

    Provides a work solution for getting the last VDN number as the DNIS/Called

    Party Number in following scenario:a. Call lands on VDN1, which has "VDN Override" set to 'y' on the PBX.b. VDN1 routes the call to VDN2, which in turn queues the call to IR.c. In such case VDN2 should be passed as the DNIS / Called Party

    Number to the IR.

    Prior to this fix, IR would receive VDN1 as the DNIS / Called Party number.

    This allows adding a configurable parameter to $IR_HOME/vs/data/asai/Parameters. This helps determine if VDN1 or VDN2 should be used the DNIS/ Called Party number.

    To use original VDN as the DNIS / Called Party number append the followingline to $IR_HOME/vs/data/asai/Parameters file.0 /* 0=Called Party Number 1=VDN for DNIS */

    To use last VDN before the call is queued to IR as the DNIS / Called Partynumber append the following line to $IR_HOME/vs/data/asai/Parameters file.1 /* 0=Called Party Number 1=VDN for DNIS */

    2. Support for multiple A_Tran requests for the same call.Enhancement to ASAI and TAS modules to support multiple A_Tranoperations for one call. This feature has been tested with 6 A_Tran requestsfor the same call.

    3. Corrected issue with ASAI channels used to take 150ms more to disconnectas compared to normal telephony channels. The Traffic call reports nowdisplay correct data for ASAI channel call records.

    4. Corrected issues with ASAI link connection being reset if a caller drops in themiddle of A_Tran operation.

    13/52

    13 2010, Avaya Inc. All Rights Reserved

    Service Pack 3 Fixes :

    5. Fixed the issue where intermittently ASAI agents do not login on systemreboots

    Service Pack 4 Fixes :

    6. Fixed the limitation with AIR to 8 ASAI Node links when AES provides 16.Now up to 16 ASAI Node links can be configured when AES provides 16.

    Service Pack 5 Fixes :

    7. Fixed the issue where ASAI Core dumps if caller hangs up during transfer.

    8. Increased the maximum length of Extension configured for ASAIDOMAIN/CHANNEL to 15, to support the Dial plan of 13 digits.

    9. Fixes the issue where IR fails to handle a routing request if two route requestsarrive IR at the same time (in the same second). Handling this needs someconfigurational changes, while configuring the RTE domains on the IR.

    10. With the VDN length restriction of seven digits on IR, multiple RTE domaincannot be configured for a VDN of length greater than 7 digits.

    Configuration details for ASAI RTE Domain:

    Existing ASAI behavior used to allow configuring a single RTE domain for aparticular VDN number on the IR. This RTE domain gets allocated to the firstavailable virtual channel. Hence, when there are multiple routing requestsarrive for the same VDN, only one virtual channel was handling them. Withthe new changes to the RTE configuration design, now you can configuremultiple RTE domains for the same VDN number by following a set of rules(explained under configuration section). And by doing so, the Route Requestsarriving IR, get distributed in a round-robin fashion to multiple virtual channelsvia configured RTE domains.

    CONFIGURATIONS:

    ASAI does not allow defining multiple RTE domains with the same extensionnumber. To overcome this limitation, we need to use unique extension

    numbers for all the RTE domains that we configure. This can be achieved, byadding a string of characters in front of the VDN number. E.g., if my VDNnumber is 2300, following domains can be configured:

    RTE0 RTE 2300 route_mod inservRTE1 RTE 1002300 route_mod inservRTE2 RTE 2002300 route_mod inserv

    2. Modifications in the configuration utility (agt_config) for the Integrationsoftware.

    You will be prompted with two additional questions during the configuration.

    [1] 'Is the dialer a Hard Dialer? [y|n]:'Till now, IR agent configuration utility (agt_config) used to assign the agent

    application (agt_chl) to all the agent channels. Now, for Soft dialer, we dontneed agt_chl to be assigned to the channels. This question will help indistinguishing between HARD and SOFT dialer based on which anappropriate entry will be made in the agt_data file.

    For Soft Dialer, there are few points that you need to consider while designingthe application. Also, there are few commands which are not supported onSoft Dialer. They are as follows:

    a) AGTAdjustHeadset,b) AGTDialDigit,c) AGTHoldCall,d) AGTHookflashLine,e) AGTManualCall,f) AGTTransferCall,

    g) AGTUnholdCall.

    For more details, please refer to the reference manual Avaya PDS/IVRIntegration Installation and Reference Manual.

    [2] Are you going to integrate with PC 4.0? [y|n]:Say Y only if you are integrating IR with Proactive Contact version 4.0. SayN for all other versions of Proactive Contact and PDS. The communicationbetween PC 4.0 & IR is over SSL. If you say Y, make sure you have SSLcertificates at $IR_HOME/vs/data/pds/. Currently self generated certificatesare shipped along with IR package and will be installed in$IR_HOME/vs/data/pds/ folder. If you plan on using third party certificates,please work with Proactive Contact support team to get instructions on how toachieve this. Please note, using SSL generally has performance impact, so itis advised you consider this impact as you plan for IR _ PC 4.0 integration.

    Please refer to the reference manual Avaya PDS/IVR Integration Installation and Reference Manual for more details.

    Service Pack 3 Fixes :

    3. The AGTTransferCall assigns AVAIL4WORK state resulting in sending AGTReadyNextItem. Corrected the AGT state to send AGTFinishedItem.

    AVdm

    Service Pack 4 Fixes :

    1. Included the disk mirroring patch updates for AVdm package.

    Updated the mirror_admin utility to enhance the ability for a system toautomatically reboot successfully after the system has experienced adisk failure.

    The diag-device is not configured in the OBP on many systems to allowthe IR to boot from both disks - only the first disk or none. In this case,if the primary disk fails and the key switch is in diagnostic mode, thesystem will not boot from the remaining good disk. This update willconfigure the system to boot from both disks in either mode.

    In a dual disk system Solaris - by design - will refuse to boot theremaining good disk when one of the disks has failed. This update willconfigure the system to boot from either disk should one disk fail in adual disk system.

    The existing AVdm package (IR 3.0 GA) will be backed up as AVdm.OLD at /export/optional_features location, the SP4 installationwill replace the existing AVdm package on IR system.

    This is a temporary condition as the message sending queues are fulland so message sending fails because system is busy. The reason given forthis message is EAGAIN, an interprocess communication message queuecapacity across all processes on the voice system is being exceeded. Whenthis happens, all processes may have trouble communicating with oneanother. The process listed in the message may or may not be the processthat caused the problem. If the receiving process (the process which failed to

    get the message) is not handling incoming messages often enough, it may bethe only process affected.Proposed solutionThe condition is temporary as the system is busy. If the condition exists thenplease go through the steps mentioned below.1. Gather data about this problem for later analysis:

    a. Type cd /usr/install and press Enter.b. Type sar > sar.out and press Enter.c. Type ps -ef > ps.out and press Enter.d. Type ipcs -qop > ipcs.out and press Enter.e. Reboot the operating system.

    2. If you have recently added hardware to the system, check the circuit cardto ensure that the card recently added has a unique index. For example,make sure that there are not two cards that have the same switch setting.3. If the problem persists, follow the trouble escalation procedure and inform

    personnel with the data that you previously collected.

Review the text of the log message to identify the event.2. If the event is related to a trunk or trunks coming up, no further action isrequired.3. If the event is related to a trunk or trunks going down, take these actions:

    a. Check the physical trunk or trunk for loose connections.b. Verify that the switch at the far end is operating properly.c. Ensure that the physical trunk is configured correctly both on the

    switch and on the system.d. Type trunkmon-b and press Enter to determine

    the exact condition of the trunk.If you cannot resolve the problem by troubleshooting the trunk, contact atechnical support representative.

    1. Fixed a problem with ISDN two channel transfers where a leg of bridge is notbroken leading to cross talk in next calls.

    2. Issue with TBCT functionality.Fixed issue where TBCT xfer failed. This happened because a channel wasconsidered available after NCCEVN_CALL_DISCONNECTED. In reality, thechannel was not available as it was still expecting aNCCEVN_CALL_RELEASED from the NMS board. The channel wasconsidered available and was used for making outgoing call for xfer. However,on the NMS side, the outgoing failed and hence the transfer failed too.

    3. Support for Voice Energy DetectionProvided support for bypassing the caller tune as against a valid userresponse while making outbound calls over a PRI line. The caller tunesprovided as replacement for the traditional ring tones could be detected asvoice energy by NMS board causing IR to falsely detect remote connect withintelligent outbound calls.Note: For changing place call timeout addNCC.X.ADI_PLACECALL.callprog.timeout parameter in/opt/nms/ctaccess/cta.cfg and change its value to either 0 to disable it or thetime in seconds. Place call timeout is used when, for an outbound call if thereis no energy detected for specified time then it will throw a timeout error.

    25. Added the millisecond field in the logCat messages for AVB module. Few thirdparty tools are based on these values for troubleshooting latencies.

    26. Corrected issue for passing collection of parameters set in the application toIR platform.

    27. Fixed the issue where VXI inserts a space at the beginning ofcharacter/number string variables, which causes Real Speak SWMS TTS tospeak the word "space" before the string variables.

    28. Support for Dynamic URL and parameters passing through IVR-D 6.1 URL attribute can be a static or a variable value. Passing parameters between TAS and VXI applications. A maximum of

    10 parameters can pass from TAS to VXI applications and accept amaximum of 10 parameters from VXI to TAS applications.

    This enhancement will only work for the TAS applications developedusing IVR-D 6.1.

    29. Fixed the issue where the _message shadow variable was getting truncatedto 1022 characters.

    30. Fixed issue where avayaVXI drops the call if Ret2vxml node returns -1 asreturn code to the VXML application.

    31. Enhancements for receiving DTMF digits sent from switchs converse-on step& populate them in session variables for vxml application to pick it up.The session variables session.telephone.firstconversedata &session.telephone.secondconversedata holds the converse-on data receivedby AVB.

    To enable converse-on for VXML set vxml.conversedata value to 1 in the file$IR_HOME/vs/data/vxml/pal.cfg. The voice system restart is required tomake the settings effective. The Converse ON data is collected by the IRbefore the VoiceXML application is yet to run, so theres no need to put anykind of pauses on CM. The data should be available as soon as the firstVXML page is fetched.

    The following settings on CM are vital for this feature to work correctly. Thetiming needs to be changed in the CM system-parameters features, page 11at CM system. Change the First & Second data delay to 0 second andConverse signaling tones to 50 milliseconds.
