We have two almost identical 3300 MXe II controllers. One is our production system, call it “A” (fully licensed, with SWA) and the other box we obtained for an emergency spare: “B”.
Controller “A” is running MCD 4.1 SP2 (10.1.2.13).
We would like to stage up “B” with the latest version of MiVoice Business that will run on the hardware; take over our Application Record so it becomes licensed; then physically swap it in one night to become the new production controller.
I have already installed an empty, vanilla instance of MiVoice Business 8.0 SP3 PR3 onto “B”, but it is not allowing any restores since it’s not licensed yet. If we go ahead with the ARID swap and have “B” as a licensed but empty instance of 8.0, will “B” be able to read a 4.1 production backup from “A” ?? If not, what is the latest version we need to put on “B” that can read 4.1 backups? (After that, we would do in-place upgrades to bring it up to 8.0 or as high as we can go.)
Any tips much appreciated!
