After the database is backed up, click the Maintenance tab in the BSC administrator

console, and then click Upgrade to display the BSC update page, for example as
shown in Figure 16-5.
The current active image, either A or B, is shown in boldface on the right side of the
page.

Enter the pathname of the new runtime image you wish to load onto the BSC.
Optional. Mark the Maintain Current Configuration checkbox to maintain the current

database configuration while loading the new system software image. When
performing a downgrade, the current configuration will be automatically maintained.
The system will require a reboot when the image upload is complete.
If this checkbox is not marked, you will need to restore the database manually and
then reboot the BSC after the runtime image uploads.
Click Upgrade to upload the runtime image to the BSC. The size of the image is

approximately 60 Mb, so the process may take some time to complete. If for any
reason the upload is interrupted or cancelled, you must repeat this step. If problems
are found with the new image, you can use the BSC Switch feature to return to your
previous system software version.
A progress bar displays on the page. Once the upgrade has started, you can move
away from the page and come back for status. The upgrade buttons are disabled for
all admins when an upgrade is taking place.
During the upgrade, an upgrade log is shown whenever the log is available. The log
file includes a timestamp on each step in the upgrade process, so that you can see
how the upgrade has been progressing, and verify that it completed.
