Upgrading a Multi-Site VCX System with Branch Offices 245
To upgrade the Call servers:
1Log on, as root, to the primary Call server and the secondary Call server in
a region.
2Obtain a copy of the vcx-callserver-7.1.yc.tar software upgrade file
and place it in the /opt/installtemp directory on the primary Call server
and on the secondary Call server.
3Upgrade the primary Call server by following these steps:
aStart the upgrade process by entering the following commands:
cd /opt/installtemp
tar xvf vcx-callserver-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 -------------------
bSwitch 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 reboot process has been completed, the system starts VCX 7.1.y
Call server.
cAfter 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
