Downgrading
If you need to downgrade to an earlier release of the System 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

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 package) you need
to transfer two files to the VCS:
A text file containing just the 16-character Release Key (required for the System 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 System 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 System platform component:
l
Upload to the /tmp folder on the system. The target name must be /tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz, for
example: scp s42700x8_1_0.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 extension, for
example: scp root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/pkgs/new/vcs-lang-es-es_8.1_amd64.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.
4. If you have upgraded the System platform component, log in to the VCS, either using the web interface or
CLI, and reboot the VCS. After about five minutes the system will be ready to use.
Note: if you make any further configuration changes before rebooting, those changes will be lost when the
system restarts, so you are recommended to reboot your system immediately.
