Upgrading software
In order for the installation to complete fully, you must

restart the system after you have uploaded the new
software version and confirmed the upgrade. Any
configuration changes you make between confirming the upgrade
and restarting will be lost, so we recommend restarting your
system immediately.
Before you start the upgrade, ensure that the software
image file for the new version has been saved in a
network location that is locally accessible from your client
computer. Also ensure that you have the 16-character Release
Key readily available (this is not required if you are upgrading to a
dot release, e.g. X4.0 to X4.1).
To upgrade your software using the web 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
(not required for dot release upgrades). Ensure there is no
extraneous white space in this file.
•
the file containing the software image.
To transfer these files:
1.
Upload the Release Key file using SCP/PSCP to the
folder on the system. The target name must be
release-key, e.g.
scp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key
or
pscp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key
You must upload the Release Key file before
!
uploading the software image.
root
2.
Enter the
password when prompted.
3.
Upload the software image using SCP/PSCP to the
folder on the system. The target name must be
/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz, e.g.
scp s42700x41.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/
tandberg-image.tar.gz
or
pscp s42700x41.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/
tandberg-image.tar.gz
root
4.
Enter the
password when prompted.
The software installation will begin automatically.
5.
Wait until the software has installed completely. This should
not take more than five minutes.

restart the
VCS.
After about five minutes the system will be ready to use.
You must name the files exactly as described above.
