Secondary Upgrade 1

[davea2]

OK so last night I upgraded a Primary from 11.0.4.3 to 11.1.1.1 going via 11.0.4.5
This all worked fine.

However in my haste I forgot when at 11.0.4.5 to upgrade the Secondary to this level.
So the Secondary is still on 11.0.4.3 and the only upgrade I seem to have available is to 11.1.1.1 via the Primary which obviously will fail.
Even if I try to upload an 11.0.4.5 ISO direct to the Secondary it still will only want to upgrade to 11.1.1.1

So, has missing out this step been a huge blunder?

I am thinking I may have to build a new secondary on 11.0.4.5 and upload the old 11.0.4.3 config to it, and then upgrade to 11.1.1.1 via the VHD?

No really massive issue as the Secondary has no 'live' extensions or trunks, it's purely a standby

You have to do it the same as you did in primary

IP Office remote service
IP Office certificate check
CLI based call blocking
SCN fallback over PSTN

It is possible to access web manager on the secondary directly. Worth a look to see if that allows you to transfer the 11.0.4.5 ISO to the secondary for an upgrade.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

If it isn't a virtual box but actual hardware server you could use the USB upgrade method.

I tried to get on Web manager on the Secondary but couldn't get on.

I saw the service was stopped however I cannot get the Web Manager service to start.

I assume it should start OK on the Secondary?

It's a virtual machine in Hyper-V

Just checked in the debug log for the IP Office on the Secondary and there is load of:-

Issue with fd: : Broken pipe

Boot the secondary from 11.0.4.5 ISO and let it update.

IP Office remote service
IP Office certificate check
CLI based call blocking

@derfloh Good call, doing it now...

Sorry davea2. Back on my test rigs this morning so I thought I'd give it a go. I can get the ISO transferred to the secondary on mine. But when I start the upgrade process it complains that the primary has to be done first even though my primary was already on a higher release. Shame.

If it was a physical rig then booting for USB or DVD would be the root. Whilst Avaya don't officially support it, you could try mapping the virtual server's DVD drive to the ISO file and see what rebooting does.

Yes, attached the 11.0.4.5 as a DVD and booted and it upgraded.
Now though cannot upgrade to 11.1 via the upgrade virtual disk.

It fails with a line 4m[terminated] and then powers down

Still on Centos 6 and 11.0....

 

[davea2]

So If I go into the manual disk setup options on the Centos 7 installer it says there is only 998KB free space on the IPO drive.
This is not correct as is I run the IPO on that drive and check free disk space with the linux df command is says there is 450GB free.

Bit confused by that!

Anyone else come across similar?

The upgrade is obviously failing due to perceived lack of free space as the installer is asking for around 2GB

Hyper-V issue? Corrupt VHDX?

Any thoughts appreciated!
