Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices 211
Use the Adhoc service on this server? (Y/N) [Y] :
If you want this server to act as a multi-caller (up to 6 callers)
conferencing server, enter
y. If not, enter n.
6 The UPS Monitoring prompt appears:
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be used with VCX
systems to avoid disruption due to a power outage. VCX
provides a UPS monitoring service which tracks the UPS's
status and performs a safe shutdown when the its battery is
depleted during a long power outage. To use this feature,
you must have a compatible UPS installed and configured in
accordance with the VCX documentation.
Enable UPS monitoring? [N] :
If you do not have a UPS installed and enter n (or press Enter); the
remaining UPS configuration prompts are not displayed.
If you do have a UPS installed and enter
y and see Configuring UPS
Monitoring for information on the subsequent UPS configuration
prompts.
7 After completing the Adhoc Conferencing and UPS Monitoring prompts,
the server reboots. When the reboot process has been completed, the
system starts VCX 7.1.x services.
8 After the system has completed the restart process, verify that the
upgrade has occurred by entering this command:
ls -l /opt/3com/VCX
The symbolic link (VCX) should point to the new version of the VCX
software (7.1.xc). If the link does not point to the new version, wait a few
minutes and reenter the command. This could take several minutes and it
is important the link pointer is correct before proceeding.
Example Output
/opt/3com/VCX -> /opt/3com/VCX.7.1.xc
9 Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all the other branch office servers in
Region 2.
