Overview of a 6.0 to 7.0 Upgrade
255
With version 7.0, you can set up IP Messaging in a client/server
configuration. An IP Messaging server can support up to 20 IP
Messaging clients. See the
IP Messaging Operations and System
Administration Guide
for details. When you upgrade a primary IP
Messaging server running version 6.0 IP Messaging software to
version 7.0, the upgrade script asks if you want the system to support
IP Messaging client systems. If you answer yes, you must be prepared
to enter the IP addresses of each client system.
■
Call server software
Supported on multi-site systems (configured on regional offices with
branch offices)
■
Call Records server software
Supported on multi-site systems (configured on a single server for
regional offices with or without branch offices)
■
Authentication and Directory server software
Supported on multi-site systems (configured on regional offices with
branch offices)
You should upgrade each server from a locally attached console. The
upgrade procedure includes a reboot of each upgraded server. If you
perform an upgrade remotely (using a secure shell client, for example),
you will be logged out when the reboot occurs. When you log back in, it
may not be apparent that the upgrade has completed. If you enter
commands before the upgrade has finished, the upgrade will fail.
Post-Upgrade
Requirements
After an upgrade to VCX version 7.0 from any release of VCX version 6.0,
you
must
run the configuration script,
admincfg
, described in this
section. The script addresses the following issues:
■
VCX version 7.0 adds a new Manager role to the VCX Administrator
provisioning interface. Running the script adds the new role to the
interface, and ensures that administrators can log in to the interface
and access Manager-related menu options.
■
Access to the Central Manager and the VCX Administrator
provisioning interface requires a username and password (see the
VCX
Administration Guide
). If you have changed the default password, the
procedure for upgrading VCX software from version 6.0 to 7.0 may
change your password back to the default. Running the script allows
you to reset the default password.
