Upgrading Software Version

There are also two functions to assist you in maintaining the system software, as follows:

•Switch Version: The hard drive on the server on which CTMS is installed is partitioned into two areas. Each area can contain a system image. Switch Version allows you to switch the location of two stored versions of the system software.

•Upgrade Software: CTMS provides a patch file for upgrading system software. The Cisco-supplied patch file can be stored on a CD-ROM or a Secure FTP (SFTP) host network. A wizard displays dialog boxes to prompt you through the process.

Figure 4-13shows the Software Upgrade screen.
