394 APPENDIX C: REPLACING A FAILED DISK ON A VCX SERVER
The location of the software upgrade file depends on 3Com’s service
delivery methods and on the customer network configuration.
Software upgrade file names begin with the software version and end in
a
.tar extension (for example: vcx-ipmsg-6.0.2c.tar). The examples in this
section assume that you need to upgrade to VCX 6.0.2c.
c Install the software upgrade file using these commands:
cd /opt/installtemp
tar xvf vcx-ipmsg-6.0.2c
cd upgrade-6_0_2c
./install-upgrade
d Switch to the upgraded version of the software using this command:
vcx-switchversion --manual 6.0.2c
Normally the vcx-switchversion command is used with the --manual
option to downgrade to a previous software version. When you use it in a
disk replacement procedure, you can safely ignore this message:
To complete the VCX switchversion operation please restore
the IP Messaging and Oracle databases. After these have been
restored you may reboot the system.
e Compare the version of the currently active operating system to the
version in the inactive partition, using this command:
vcx-os-query
In the output from this command, the second column contains the
operating system version for the two partitions (A and B) and the last
column indicates which partition is currently active.
Example Output From the vcx-os-query Command
OS Version Partition Label Status
A 3.3.0 /dev/sda2 / active
B 3.3.1 /dev/sda3 /B
In the example, the active operating system version is 3.3.0 and the
version in the inactive partition is 3.3.1.
f Switch to the more recent version of the operating system using this
command:
vcx-os-switch 3.3.1
4 Reboot the down server using this command:
reboot
