In a multi-site VCX system configured to use global messaging, the IP
■
Messaging server is located on the regional office. Each branch office
runs the IP Telephony server only. In this case, the regional office
provides messaging services for users at each branch office.
The procedures in this section are based on a multi-site VCX system that
includes two regions (Region 1 and Region 2). For this example system,
the branches in Region 1 use local messaging, and the branches in
Region 2 use global messaging.
All upgrade commands are executed locally at the console.
CAUTION: When upgrading a multi-site VCX system, upgrade the
regional servers before upgrading the branch servers. If you upgrade the
branch servers first, the database schema on the branches may not match
the schema version on the region causing database replication failure.
To upgrade the branch offices in Region 1 (local messaging):
1 Stop the Tomcat process on the Call servers in Region 1 by logging in to
each server as root and executing the following commands:
cd /opt/3com/VCX/scripts/rc3.d
./S70tomcat stop
2 Log in to the first branch office server as root.

cd /opt/installtemp
tar xvf vcx-all-7.0.xc.tar
cd upgrade-7.0.xc
./install-upgrade
The system may prompt you to confirm that a new operating system
version will be installed and indicates which disk partition will be used
after the upgrade. If you see such a prompt, answer y.
The system displays several status messages. The last two messages are:
F V6.0 V7.0
