Upgrading Software

About Upgrading the VCS Software

It is possible to install new releases of the VCS software on your existing hardware. Software upgrade can be done in one of two ways:

•using secure copy (SCP/PSCP).

•using the web interface (HTTP/HTTPS)

This section describes how both of these methods are used to perform upgrades.

Prerequisites

The upgrade requires you to have:

•a valid Release key

•a software image file

Contact your TANDBERG representative for more information on how to obtain these.

Backing up the Existing Configuration Before Upgrading

The existing configuration will be restored after performing an upgrade. However, we recommend that you make a backup of the existing configuration before performing the upgrade.

To do this:

. Use the command line interface to log on to the VCS. . Issue the command xConfiguration.

3.Save the resulting output to a file, using cut-and-paste or some other means provided by your terminal emulator.

To restore your configuration:

. Remove the *c from in front of each command.

. Paste this information back in to the command line interface.

Upgrading Using SCP/PSCP

To upgrade using SCP or PSCP (part of the PuTTY free Telnet/SSH package) you will need to transfer two files to the VCS:

•a text file containing just the 16-character Release Key

•the file containing the software image.

To upgrade using SCP or PSCP:

. Ensure the VCS is turned on and available on IP.

. Upload the release key file using SCP/PSCP to the /tmp folder on the system e.g. scp release-keyroot@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-keyor

pscp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key

3.Enter password when prompted.

4.Copy the software image using SCP/PSCP. The target name must be

/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz, e.g.

scp s42100x11.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz or pscp s42100x11.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/tandbergimage.tar.gz

5.Enter password when prompted.

6.Wait until the software has installed completely. This should not take more than two minutes.

7.Reboot the system.

After about four minutes the system will be ready to use.

!You must name the files exactly as described above.

!You must transfer the Release Key file before transferring the software image.
