Upgrading Cisco IPICS
If your Cisco IPICS server is running release 2.0(2), 2.0(2), or 2.1(1) SR1, you
can upgrade your server to release 4.0(1) by using a Cisco-provided CD-ROM. If
you are not sure about how to obtain the software for Cisco IPICS release 4.0(1),
contact your Cisco representative for information.
Tip
To verify which versions of Cisco IPICS are compatible for upgrade, refer to the
most recent version of the Cisco IPICS Compatibility Matrix at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7026/
tsd_products_support_series_home.html
This chapter contains information about upgrading your software to Cisco IPICS
release 4.0(1) and other actions that you must take to fully complete this upgrade
process and includes the following sections:

Upgrading Cisco IPICS
Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Be aware of the following caveats, and perform one or more of the following
suggested actions, before you upgrade your server software:
•
Cisco recommends that you back up the database to a remote host. If you
encounter problems during the upgrade, you can reinstall the Cisco IPICS
release 2.0(2) server software and restore your database from the remote
backup to return your system to its previous state. For information about
backing up and restoring the Cisco IPICS database, refer to the “Performing
Cisco IPICS Backup and Restore Operations” chapter of the Cisco IPICS
Server Administration Guide.
•
You can set up a new version of the latest, supported IDC so that the IDC
download process is staged. Staging the IDC download alleviates the burden
of long IDC downloads to all users at one time. For more information about
this feature, refer to the “Installing a New IDC Version Before You Upgrade
Your Cisco IPICS Server” section in the “Performing Cisco IPICS System
Administrator Tasks” chapter in the Cisco IPICS Server Administration
Guide.
•
Cisco IPICS retains existing attributes for channels, VTGs, and users during
an upgrade. Note, however, that the default setting for the Allow Latch
attribute is set to disabled (unchecked) when you create new channels or
VTGs in release 4.0(1). For more information about the Allow Latch
attribute, refer to the “Performing Cisco IPICS System Administrator Tasks”
chapter in the Cisco IPICS Server Administration Guide.
Performing a Direct Cisco IPICS Server Software
Upgrade
If you have physical access to the Cisco IPICS server, you can upgrade the server
software directly from the server. To do so, you must have the Cisco IPICS release
4.0(1) installation CD that is included with your product package.
Be aware that you must log in as the root user to perform the Cisco IPICS upgrade.
If you attempt to run the upgrade from any other user ID, the upgrade program
returns an error and exits.

Performing a Direct Cisco IPICS Server Software Upgrade
Note
To terminate the upgrade process at any point in time, press Ctrl+C.
To upgrade the Cisco IPICS server software directly, perform the following
procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Insert and mount the 4.0 IPICS software application installation CD.
[root]# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting
[root]# ls -ltr /mnt/cdrom

install-ipics-4.0.0.xxx.run
pre_ipics_db_upgrade_22_40
ipics_db_upgrade_22_40
[root]#
Step 2
Copy the script pre_ipics_db_upgrade_22_40 on the installation CD to the
Release 2.2 server under /root.
Step 3
Back up the Release 2.2 database using the following command.
[root]# pre_ipics_db_upgrade_22_40 <remote directory> <remote host IP>
<User name> <password>
For example:
[root]# pre_ipics_db_upgrade_22_40 /root 10.3.2.1 root rootpwd
The output is saved to the file dbspaces_ipics22.tgz.
Note
Step 4
The database backup process is different from the normal database
backup that is available in the IPICS server. After you install Cisco IPICS
Release 4.0, the file from the special backup created in Release 2.2
(dbspaces_ipics22.tgz) is required to replicate your database in Release
4.0.
Save the dbspaces_ipics22.tgz file to a remote location under the same name.

Chapter 3
Upgrading Cisco IPICS
Performing a Direct Cisco IPICS Server Software Upgrade
Note
You must save the file to a remote location because the file is deleted as
part of the new operating system installation.
Step 5
Install the IPICS 4.0 operating system as described in the “Installing the
Cisco IPICS Operating System” section on page 2-7.
Step 6
Install IPICS 4.0 application software as described in the “Installing the
Cisco IPICS Server Software” section on page 2-16.
Step 7
Create a temp directory in the root directory on the IPICS 4.0 server, set the owner
and permissions, and then verify the settings:
[root]# cd /root
[root]# mkdir /temp
[root]# chown informix:ipics /root/temp
[root]# chmod 0770 /root/temp
[root]# ls -ltr temp
....
drwxrwx--2 informix ipics
4096 Mar
....
[root]#
2 22:32 temp
Step 8
Use SFTP to copy the database file dbspaces_ipics22.tgz to the /root/temp
directory on the IPICS server.
Step 9
Use the following command to run the IPICS database upgrade script, where
serverip is the server IP address and rootpwd is the root password.
Note
This process may take up to 30 minutes. Make sure that you allow time for the
process to complete.
[root]# ipics_db_upgrade_22_40 /root/temp serverip root rootpwd
Sample output:
[root]# pre_ipics_db_upgrade_22_40 /dbupgradebackup ipics-standby root

IPICS server by performing the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Copy the upgrade-idc-4.0(x.x).zip file from the IPICS server to the PC that you
are using to access the IPICS server.
Step 2
Install the upgrade package, responding yes to the upload prompt, as shown:

Step 7
Select the modified descriptor and click Update.
Step 8
Choose the descriptor type and click Browse to locate and upload the file.
Step 9
Click Save.
Step 10
To insure that all affected radios are updated with the new descriptor information,
disable and then enable each radio, or restart the RCS service on the server.
To restart the service, use SSH to access the IPICS server as root, and then enter
the following command:
[root]# service ipics_rcs restart
