Upgrading the solution template

In addition to providing instructions for upgrading the solution template, this procedure includes prerequisites and steps for solutions using System Platform High Availability (Locally Redundant HA only.)

1. Log in to the System Platform Web Console as admin.
2. If installing from a USB flash drive, connect the flash drive to the server.
3. If installing from a single CD or DVD, insert the CD or DVD in the server CD or DVD drive.
4. If installing from multiple DVDs, copy the DVDs to the server:
   1. Click Server Management > File Manager in the navigation pane.
   2. Insert the first DVD.
   3. Click View DVD/CD.
   4. After the system mounts and reads the DVD, click Copy Files.

      The files are copied to the /vsp-template/cdrom directory on the server.

   5. When the system finishes copying the files, insert the second DVD.
   6. Click View DVD/CD.
   7. After the system mounts and reads the DVD, click Copy Files.

      The files are copied to the /vsp-template/cdrom directory on the server.

   8. Repeat for remaining DVDs
   9. After the system finishes copying the files, select the template in the /vsp-template/ field of the Copy from Server DVD/CD area.
   10. Click Finalize copy.

       The files are copied to the template-specific directory that you selected in the previous step, and the cdrom directory is deleted.

   Important

   If the writable DVD does not mount, write the ISO images to high quality DVDs and use a slower write speed.

5. Click Virtual Machine Management > Templates in the navigation pane.

   The system displays the Search Local and Remote Template page.

6. In the Install Template From field, select the location of the software to be installed.

   If you copied multiple DVDs to the server, select SP Server.

   Note

   If the software is located on a different server (for example, Avaya PLDS or HTTP), and depending on your specific network environment, configure a proxy if necessary to access the software. See Configuring a proxy.

7. If you selected HTTP or SP Server in the Install Template From field, enter the complete URL or path of the template files.
8. Click Upgrade.
9. Click OK when prompted to confirm the upgrade.

   The Select Template page displays the template descriptor files that are saved at the location you specified. Each available template has one template descriptor file.

10. Select the appropriate template, and then click Select to continue.

    The Template Details page displays information on the selected template and its virtual machines.

11. On the Template Details page, click Upgrade.

    The Template Installation page displays the progress of the upgrade. With some templates, an installation wizard starts after you complete initial installation tasks.

12. Navigate to the High Availability page.
13. Reenter your System Platform High Availability configuration.
14. Save the HA configuration
15. From the primary server, START HA.
