246 APPENDIX B: UPGRADING VCX SERVER SOFTWARE FROM V7.1.X TO V7.1.Y
4 Upgrade the secondary Call server by following the procedure described
in step 3.
Upgrading the
Regional Call Records
Server
This section describes how to upgrade regional the Call Records server. In
a multi-site VCX system, a single Call server typically supports all regional
offices. You need to perform the steps in this section on a console
attached to the regional Call server.
To upgrade the Call Records server:
1 Log in to the Call Records server as root.
2 Obtain a copy of the
vcx-bss-7.1.yc.tar software upgrade file and
place it in the
/opt/installtemp directory on the Call Records server.
3 Enter these commands:
cd /opt/installtemp
tar xvf vcx-bss-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 -------------------
4 Change to the new software version by entering this command:
vcx-switchversion 7.1.yc
The system displays several status messages and then reboots. When the
reboot process has been completed, the system starts VCX 7.1.yc
services.
5 After the system has completed the restart process, verify that the
upgrade has occurred by entering the following 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
