Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices 197
------------------- Installation Completed Successfully -------------------
------------------- VCX version 7.1.xc is now available -------------------
8Change to the new software version by entering this command:
vcx-switchversion 7.1.xc
The system displays several status messages and provides prompts that
allow you enable UPS Monitoring.
9The 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.
10 After completing the UPS Monitoring prompts, the server reboots. When
the reboot process has been completed, the system starts VCX 7.1.x
services.
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.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 presiding.
Example Output: /opt/3com/VCX -> /opt/3com/VCX.7.1.xc
11 Enter the following commands to stop the Authentication and Directory
server on Region 2:
cd /opt/3com/VCX/scripts/rc3.d
