Pre upgrade activities
Before you attempt the upgrade, carefully review the following pre upgrade tasks to determine
whether your system is compliant, and perform the indicated tasks to prepare your system for the
upgrade process.
If you are unable to correct an issue, contact technical support within your organization for help
about resolving the issue.
Important information to note before you attempt this
upgrade
Review the following information that is critical to the success of the upgrade process:
• BCM50 1.0 backup required: You must have a complete and current backup of your BCM50
1.0 system (the system to upgrade) in case the upgrade fails. You can use this backup to restore
your BCM50 1.0 system, and then you can attempt the upgrade again. A BCM50 1.0 backup
does not function after the system is upgraded to BCM50 2.0 software.
• Do not perform the upgrade through the dial-up modem: Due to the size of the upgrade
files, Nortel recommends that you do not attempt the upgrade through the dial-up modem.
• Services are unavailable during upgrade: After you start the second stage of the upgrade,
your system is out of service until the upgrade is complete. The system services are down
during that period, so ensure that you notify your users of the outage. Your system is fully
functional after the upgrade is successful and the post upgrade activities are completed.
Pre upgrade tasks
Perform the following pre upgrade tasks before you begin the upgrade:
• Perform a backup of your BCM50 1.0 system: Current settings are lost if a system failure

and Restore > Backup) to back up all the data on your BCM50 1.0 system and store it in a
location other than on the BCM50 system or the management computer. This provides you
