244 APPENDIX B: UPGRADING VCX SERVER SOFTWARE FROM V7.1.X TO V7.1.Y
tar xvf vcx-ipmsg-7.1.yc.tar
cd upgrade-7.1.yc
./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.yc is now available -------------------
b Switch to the new software version by entering the following
command:
vcx-switchversion 7.1.yc
The system displays several status messages and then reboots. After
the reboot process has been completed, the system starts VCX 7.1.y IP
Messaging services.
c 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.yc). 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.yc
4 Upgrade the secondary IP Messaging server by following the procedure
described in step 3.
Upgrading the
Regional Call Servers
This section describes how to upgrade regional Call servers. Call servers
are typically installed in redundant pairs (primary and secondary) in a
multi-site VCX system. You need to perform the steps in this section on a
console attached to each Call server in all regions (Region 1 and Region 2
in this example).
