Upgrading Toolpack: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:52, 7 July 2009

There are three types of upgrades to Toolpack: minor upgrades, major upgrades, and license upgrades. A fourth type of intervention is a system reconfiguration.

It is considered a major upgrade when changing to a full release version or a major point release (e.g., v1 to v2 or v2.2 to v2.3). Please note that major upgrades require service interruption.

It is considered a minor upgrade when moving, for example, from upgrading a minor point release (e.g., v2.3.1 to v2.3.2). Minor upgrades can be done without service interruption if the system is HA.

A license upgrade activates new functionality or capacity in the system. Example of license upgrades include adding SS7 signalling or unlocking additional IVR capabilities.

A system reconfiguration is required when:

Upgrading to a multi-host system.
Upgrading to a database HA system.
Modifying basic parameters like TbxGwPort, TbxGwAddr0, TbxGwAddr1.
Modifying configuration databases parameters.
