9 Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all the other branch office servers in
Region 1.
To upgrade the branch offices in Region 2 (global messaging):
1 Log in to the first branch office server as root.
2 Obtain a copy of the
vcx-softswitch-7.1.xc.tar software upgrade file
and place it in the
/opt/installtemp directory on the branch office
server. The variable
y indicates the version of VCX software (for example,
vcx-all-7.1.3c.tar) that will replace the current version. The letter c is
always appended to the version number.
3 To start the upgrade process, enter the following commands:
cd /opt/installtemp
tar xvf vcx-softswitch-7.1.xc.tar
cd upgrade-7.1.xc
./install-upgrade
The system may prompt you to confirm that a new operating system
version will be installed and indicates which disk partition will be used
after the upgrade. If you see such a prompt, answer y.
The system displays several status messages. The last two messages are:
------------------- Installation Completed Successfully -------------------
------------------- VCX version 7.1.xc is now available -------------------
4 Switch to the new software version by entering the following command:
vcx-switchversion 7.1.xc
The system displays several status messages and provides prompts that
allow you enable Adhoc Conferencing and UPS Monitoring.
5 The Adhoc Conferencing prompt appears:
In order to support "ad-hoc" conferences with more than 3
participants, the Adhoc Conference Service is used. This
service should be enabled on this server, unless another
server dedicated to Adhoc Conferencing will be used instead.
If available, a separate server typically provides greater
capacity and may be shared among sites.
