Upgrading VCX

This section describes the procedures required to upgrade a system

Server Software

running VCX server software version 7.0 to VCX server software

from 7.0 to 7.1

version 7.1.These procedures upgrade the VCX system to an operational

 

state and assumes the VCX system was operational prior to the upgrade

 

occurring.

 

EMS does not allow individual component upgrades without first

 

installing a new version for switchover. However, individual component

 

upgrades can be performed without first installing a new version for

 

switchover through the CLI interface.

 

These instructions can also be used for upgrading from version 7.1x to

 

7.1y.

 

This section assumes the VCX system is successfully operating at version

 

7.0.7c before you perform the upgrade. If your system is running an

 

earlier version of VCX 7.0 software (or VCX 6.0 software), you must

 

upgrade to 7.0.7c before upgrading to version 7.1. See Viewing Installed

 

Versions of VCX for instructions on verifying the version of VCX installed

 

on your system. See Upgrading a Multiple Site Configuration from 6.0.x

 

to 7.0 for instructions on upgrading from 6.0 to 7.0.

This section covers the following configurations and/or components that can be upgraded using EMS:

Upgrading a Multiple Site Configuration from 7.0 to 7.1

Upgrading the VCX IP Telephony Software from 7.0 to 7.1

Installing IP Messaging Software Patch Release

Installing SIP Phone Downloader and Boot File Software Patch Releases

The components in a multi-site VCX system can be set up in many possible configurations. The procedures in this section describe upgrading a multi-site VCX system that includes two regions (Region 1 and Region 2) with multiple branch offices in each region. For instructions on upgrading a VCX system with other configurations (such as single-site systems with two or four servers, or multi-site systems with no branch offices), see the VCX Maintenance Guide.
