Hardware
The release 10.2 requires new PowerCPU EE (or a PowerCPU) and PowerMEX for extension cabinet,
migration must be done on site.
Internet Access and RAS are no longer supported and associated data's are not restored.
Old CPUs & CoCPUs (including some daughter boards) are not compatible with the release 10.2 and
must be removed.
Software
Migration from R3.0, R4.0, R5.0, R6.0 and R7.0 to release 10.2 is not supported: it is mandatory to
upgrade first the system to the latest R3.1, R4.1, R5.1, R6.1 or R7.1 version.
Migration from OXO releases 2.1 to release 10.2 is not tested and not supported (requires new
system configuration). Note: it is possible to apply the migration process on a release 2.1, but in case
of trouble during restore, it will be mandatory to do a cold start and reconfigure the system manually.
See also TC0054 Hardware & Software compatibility for more details.
Save the current system configuration with OMC 10.2 (select all items).
Switch off the system and wait for complete shutdown (red power led).

With the off-line database previously modified, connect to the OXO R10.2 system.
Du to architecture modification (new processor) some labels are reversed in R10.2 and noteworthy
addresses must not be restored. The flag "labelled addresses" is automatically un-selected when OMC
10.2 is used to open an old database in off-line and to connect to an R10.2 system:
Save the current system configuration with OMC 10.2 (select all items).
Open in off-line the database saved in R7.1:
o change the CPU variant from CPU-x or CPUe-x to PowerCPU (VoIP16) or PowerCPU (VoIP48),
o if equipped, remove the CoCPU (select No Board in Board Type),
o change the MEX board variant from MEX to PowerMEX in case of extension cabinet,
o do not modify any other configuration parameters (type of boards - sets etc ).
Save the database with a new name.
Switch off the system and wait for complete shutdown (red power led).
Set the R7.1 CPU jumper to LoLa mode and plug it again in the rack.
Start LoLa and select the release 10.2 SW delivery path, country target and SW licenses.
Select "Migration mono CPU", in "Storage location" select an empty folder on your PC to store the data.
Start LoLa: CPU will be connected after BOOTP/TFTP answer and data on the CPU are transferred to the
PC.
After the file transfer, you can modify the hardware: switch off the R7.1 CPU do not close the LoLa
tool.
Remove the old CPU/CoCPU and MEX board:
o
If equipped, remove MiniMIX, HSL, AFU boards from old CPU and install it on the PowerCPU
EE.
o
do not change any other hardware (type of boards, connected sets etc).
Select LoLa mode on the PowerCPU, start the system and select "Next" in Lola tool to continue the
PowerCPU load process.
When the OXO file transfer is completed, the customer data's are transferred from PC to PowerCPU EE:
switch off the PowerCPU at the end of the transfer.

Set the PowerCPU jumper to normal running mode and restart the system. The system restarts without
configuration (cold start).
Open in off-line the previously modified database and connect OMC to the OXO R10.2 system.
Following steps are the same as described in previous paragraph.
Save the current database with OMC 10.2 (select all options).
Replace the PowerCPU by the PowerCPU EE loaded with the system version 10.2 and the new SW
licenses (move the daughter boards from old CPU to the new one).
After system start (cold start) perform the wizard if necessary for Guest/Business system, VM box
creation
Restore the database with OMC (do not send the old SW licenses and import the new R10 licenses).
Save the current database with OMC 10.2 (select all options).
Switch off the system and wait for complete shutdown (red power led).
Set the PowerCPU jumper to LoLa mode and plug it again in the rack.
Start LoLa and select the release 10.2 SW delivery path, country target and SW licenses.
Select "Migration mono CPU", in "Storage location", select an empty folder on your PC to store the data.
Start LoLa: PowerCPU will be connected after BOOTP/TFTP answer and data on the CPU are transferred
to the PC.
After the file transfer, you can modify the hardware: switch off the PowerCPU do not close the LoLa
tool.
Remove the PowerCPU :

if equipped, remove MiniMIX, HSL, AFU boards from the old CPU and install it on the
PowerCPU EE.
o
do not change any other hardware (type of boards, connected sets etc).
Select LoLa mode on the PowerCPU EE, start the system and select "Next" in Lola tool to continue the
installation process.
When the OXO file transfer is completed, the customer data's are transferred from PC to PowerCPU EE:
switch off the PowerCPU at the end of the transfer.
Set the PowerCPU EE jumper to normal running mode and restart the system. The system restarts
without configuration (cold start).
After system restart, if necessary perform the wizard for Guest/Business system, VM box creation
Open in off-line the database and connect OMC to the OXO R10.2 system.
Restore the database with OMC (do not send the old SW licenses and import the new R10 licenses).

4 Security recommendation
As a reminder, after a migration from an old version with data saving or OMC save/restore, all passwords will
be automatically restored into the system, including easy passwords if any have been used and existed at the
time of the swap or OMC save.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to verify the user password status after migration : in OMC go to
System Miscellaneous - Passwords - Subscribers Password and check the status for Subscribers with Easy
password .
Click on the Reset button if easy password are detected, then save the new database with OMC and delete the
old backup.
Refer to the Technical Communication #1143 Security Recommendations for OmniPCX Office RCE for more
details.
