R3.0 Upgrade

Previous releases of the LCS60 can be upgraded to Release 3.0. This requires removing the software and any patches for the earlier release and installing the R3.0 software from tape. Upgrade procedures are given in Chapter 9.

The configuration is automatically restored after installing R3.0; the user need only configure new or changed services.

Note: When upgrading from R1.0 or R2.0 to R3.0, you must have an R3.0 software key to activate R3.0 features. Refer to the section on Copy Protection .

Remote Upgrade

Upgrading multiple LCS60s to release 3.0 or greater can be done using the remote upgrade feature. To upgrade several LCS60s to release 3.0 or greater, the local tape drive need only be used to install the upgrade release on a single LCS60 (the remote upgrade server). All other R2.0 or greater LCS60s in your data switch network (remote upgrade clients) may then be upgraded remotely across the data switch network.

Centralized Network Management

StarKeeper II NMS provides complete network management from one centralized location for both the data switch and the LCS60. The StarKeeper II NMS can be located anywhere on the data switch network and can contact many LCS60 gateways.
