Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices 203
bThe upgrade script asks if this server as a Global Voicemail Central
Server:
In a Global Voicemail system, one site's IPMSG servers are
designated as the Central Servers and coordinate the
feature's operation. Typically the Central Servers are at
one of the regional sites.
Is this a Central Server for Global Voicemail? [N] :
If this server has been configured as a Global Voicemail Central Server,
enter y and go to step 7.
If you answer n to indicate that this is not a Central Server, you will be
prompted to enter the Central Server IP address.
7After completing the Adhoc Conferencing, UPS Monitoring, and Global
Voicemail Integration 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 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
8Upgrade the secondary IP Messaging server by following the procedure
described in steps 3 through 7. Note that the Global Voicemail
Integration prompt (step 6) does not appear for a secondary IP Messaging
server upgrade.
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).
