222 APPENDIX B: UPGRADING VCX SERVER SOFTWARE FROM V7.1.X TO V7.1.Y
The system displays several status messages. The last two messages are:
------------------- Installation Completed Successfully -------------------
------------------- VCX version 7.1.yc is now available -------------------
2Switch 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
the reboot process has been completed, the system starts VCX 7.1.y
services.
3After 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
4Stop the Authentication and Directory service by entering the following
commands:
cd /opt/3com/VCX/scripts/rc3.d
./S20vcxdata stop
