Upgrading Avaya Aura SMGR from 7.0 to 8.1.x (CLI Method)

This is the moment you've all been waiting for!
I finally made a video on how to upgrade your Avaya Aura System Manager from version 7.0 to version 8.1.x

This is the CLI method so make sure you are able to rehost all your licences in PLDS to your new SMGR.
Make sure you shut your old System Manager down once you've upgraded!

Hello Avaya Guru. Thanks for the video. Its very helpfull.
Two quick questions.
1. How can I retrieve Avaya System Manager Network Parameters from cli specially VFQDN?
2. Is it possible to upload the OVA from Vsphere Client instead of SDM ?
Thank you!

@ Avaya Guru need Guru's advise :), if i am deploying SMGR and SM (10.x)with new IP details and hostname will backup restore of old Version7.x will work in 10.x and is there any chance of conflict if I keep old system running until cutover
FYI .. not using any SDM client for deployment i have installed Mendatory patch as well

One question if we are retaining ip address then in that case if we can't use sdm then what will be the process

Dear Avaya Guru I want configuration of Avaya Workplease attendant 5.4 on SMGR 8.1.3 @Avaya Guru

Is there a need to run the data migration tool if you are upgrading from 8.1.0.0.733078? Or can I just run the 8.1.3.4 upgradeSMGR? Thank you.

Hey thanks for the video, we did migration from SMGR 8.1 to SMGR 10.1 but after 1 week SMGR 10.1 webpage goes down and can not be accessible, only CLI is accessible and all services running. We used same IP and FQDN and VFQDN for upgrade . Any idea how to resolve the issue, we tried jboss restart and check services are running but nothing help.
