Downgrading
If you need to downgrade to an earlier release of the VCS platform, configuration changes, including
changes made to FindMe or Provisioning, will be lost. When the downgrade has completed you will
have to restore a backup of the system configuration that was made against the release you have just
reinstalled. Other manual steps may be required — you must review the release notes for the version
you are downgrading from.
To downgrade a component to an older release you should follow the same instructions as above for
n
upgrading, but select the appropriate software image file for the software version you want to
downgrade to.
As with upgrading, you are recommended to backup your system configuration before downgrading.

Upgrading using secure copy (SCP/PSCP)

To upgrade using a secure copy program such as SCP or PSCP (part of the PuTTY free Telnet/SSH
package) you need to transfer two files to the VCS:
A text file containing just the 16-character Release Key (required for the VCS platform component
n
only). Ensure there is no extraneous white space in this file.
The file containing the software image.
n
To transfer these files:
1. If you are upgrading the VCS platform component, upload the Release Key file using SCP/PSCP
to the /tmp/ folder on the system. The target name must be release-key, for example:
scp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key
Enter the root password when prompted.
l
The Release Key file must be uploaded before the image file.
l
2. Upload the software image using SCP/PSCP.
For the VCS platform component:
l
Upload to the /tmp folder on the system. The target name must be /tmp/tandberg-
o
image.tar.gz, for example: scp s42700x5.tar.gz
root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz
For other components:
l
Upload to the /tmp/pkgs/new/ folder on the system, preserving the file name and
o
extension, for example: scp root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/pkgs/new/ocs-relay.tlp
3. Enter the root password when prompted.
The software installation begins automatically. Wait until the software has installed completely.
This should not take more than five minutes.
