Reconfiguring a
VCX Server
Reconfiguring a VCX server enables you to modify its networking
parameters and the configuration of the services that run on the server.
You may decide to reconfigure a VCX server if, for example, you are
moving it to a new subnetwork or if you are expanding your VCX system
to include additional servers and need all servers to work together in the
new configuration.
If you reconfigure any server in a VCX system, you must usually
reconfigure all of the other servers in the system because the servers all
share information.
A significant step in the reconfiguration is the dropping of database
replication. Reconfigure primary servers and then secondary servers.
CAUTION: Do not reboot a server immediately after reconfiguring it.
Instead, after you have reconfigured all servers, reboot them all at once.
To reconfigure a VCX server, enter this command on the console:
vcx-reconfigure
CAUTION: Do not run this command using a remote (ssh) login. The
script restarts networking at one point and you will lose your connection.
You cannot use the vcx-reconfigure command to change these items:
■ Configuration Type — You cannot modify a Call Processing Server to
become an IP Messaging Server
■ Role — You cannot change a primary server to become a secondary
server.
■ Site ID — Once configured, the site ID must remain the same.
■ Global versus Local Messaging — You cannot change this setting
after it has been initially configured.
■ System Speed Dial Master — After a server has been configured as
the master server for configuring system speed dials, it must remain
the master. Similarly, no other server, once it has been configured to
not be a system speed dial master server can become the master
server.
