6.1/ 7.1 database restore to a MCD 4.0 3300ICP system

[chode79]

Can you restore a saved 6.1 and a 7.1 database to a upgraded MCD 4.0 system. Heres the deal....I have 2 different customers. One w a 6.1 700 user LX 330. Can I upgrade the memory to 512mb and manually install the MCD 4.0 software then restore the 6.1 database? I know abot the new licensing password but just need to know if its possible. My other customer has a MXe 3300ICP controller w 7.1 software. I will be upgrading the hdd and memory and performing a manual install of MCD 4.0 on the new hdd. Will I be able to restore the 7.1 database? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

LX = no (mitel do not support upgrading the 'old' controller hardware to MCD 4 as far as I am aware).

MXe = Cant say that I have upgraded from 7.1 to MCD 4.0 but There should be no reason why not. Make sure that you log into the controller before you do the restore and choose tel dir sync via opsman from the prompt screen otherwise you won't be able to restore any older databse. If your doing the resotre via SW installer then make sure you look at the log file after the restore to check if any errors when encountered and forms not restored.

I would have agreed with bobcheese had I not looked at the release notes just now. The LX with 512MB of RAM seems to be supported at 4.0 (Mitel has been telling us no for a while).

It states that the p/n for the LX that is supported is 50004942.

It looks like you should be able to upgrade straight to MCD 4.0 as long as you meet the harware requirements.

That being said I know nothing about the rest of your environment and strongly recommend that you consult the release notes prior to upgrading to see if there are any other restrictions or requirements.

Hi chode79

As long as you select "classic mode" and not "Common Disributed Data" following the manual install then yes you can use the 6.1/7.1 database.
