upgrade image stores information about packages in a Package.gz file. This file contains a list of
all packages in the image and provides information about versions for each package.Using
packages can reduce download times, network traffic, and the resets required to complete the
upgrade.
Avaya Vantage
™
does the following to perform an upgrade:
1. Avaya Vantage
™
receives the file server address from DHCP, LLDP, or the device
interface.
2. Avaya Vantage
™
connects to the file server and searches for the K1xxSupgrade.txt file.
If IP Office is the file server, it auto-generates an appropriate file unless one has been
uploaded to its file storage.
3. Avaya Vantage
™
compares its software version with the version specified in the
K1xxSupgrade.txt file.
4. If a newer version of the software distribution package is available, Avaya Vantage
™
downloads Packages.gz from the file server and determines which packages can be
upgraded.
5. Avaya Vantage
™
downloads the required packages.
6. Avaya Vantage
™
restarts and applies the new software.
7. Avaya Vantage
™
also looks for the 46xxsettings.txt settings file that is specified in the
K1xxSupgrade.txt file and downloads this settings file.
If IP Office is the file server, it auto-generates an appropriate file and adjusts various
settings in that auto-generated file to match the settings in the IP Office system
configuration.
Automatic upgrade
You can configure the settings file to allow Avaya Vantage
™
to periodically check for a newer
version of the software on the file server. If the file server contains new software, Avaya Vantage
™
automatically downloads and installs upgrade files. Avaya Vantage
™
downloads upgrade files in
the background so the download does not affect the user experience.
You can specify the following upgrade policies in the settings file:
• Schedule download for a specific time and day in a week
• Schedule installation on a specific date and time
• Set the polling interval for a new image file
Automatic upgrades do not interrupt active calls. Avaya Vantage
™
starts the upgrade after the user
completes all calls.
