Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices 281
Upgrading the
Regional IP
Messaging Servers
This section describes how to upgrade regional IP Messaging servers.
These servers may provide messaging services for users connected to the
regional office (local messaging). Or, the servers may provide messaging
services for users connected to the regional office and to users connected
to one or more supported branch offices (global messaging). In either
case, you need to perform the steps in this section on a console attached
to each IP Messaging server in all regions (Region 1 and Region 2 in this
example).
IP Messaging servers are typically configured in pairs, with one server
acting as the primary and the other acting as the secondary. The primary
IP Messaging server and a secondary IP Messaging server may be located
in the same region or in different regions.
To upgrade the IP Messaging servers:
1 Stop the primary IP Messaging server and a secondary IP Messaging
server by entering the following commands, as root, on each server:
cd /opt/3com/VCX/scripts/rc3.d
./S60ums stop
2 Obtain a copy of the vcx-ipmsg-7.0.xc.tar software upgrade file and
place it in the
/opt/installtemp directory on the primary IP Messaging
server and on the secondary IP Messaging server.
3 Upgrade the primary IP Messaging server by following these steps:
a Start the upgrade process by entering the following commands:
cd /opt/installtemp
tar xvf vcx-ipmsg-7.0.xc.tar
cd upgrade-7.0.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 7.0.xc is now available -------------------
b Obtain a license key for the server. See Obtaining a License Key File.
c Install the license key. See Installing a License Key File
