Hi guys!

Got tired of uploading single updates and found a way around it, maybe someone is in the same situation and knowledge is ment to be shared.. ;)

HOWTO UPGRADE UCM via USB file transfer instead of single-uploading files in the web interface:

make sure you got a 4gb USB memory formatted in FAT32

Create a directory called avaya on it, and a subfolder named apps

Copy the contents of the upgrade ZIP package to the apps folder.

remove safely (always! :) and put the USB stick in the upper of the two ports on the front of the UCM.

SSH to the card (look it up in knowledgebase)

login with webcontrol and your password
type admin and input your admin password
type root and input your root password

copy the files with
Code:
cp -r /media/sdb1/avaya /var/cache/avaya

this is around 800 mb and will take a moment to complete.

Voila. Its done and ready to upgrade from the web. The upgrade process on the web interface will take a solid 15-45 minutes, just let it run and you'll be fine. [thumbsup2]

E Soderholm,

Good idea but not totally complete.
Put the files in the folder /var/cache/avaya/apps
This folder contains all the avaya rpm's
You can also use a ssh tool with explorer view like ssh secure shell or winscp.
Copy the rpm's from your pc to the folder i mentioned and the rest is the same.

I always remove the VMPro languages that i do not need and thus also not upgrade them.
This will save you 80% of the uupgrade time.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 
Thanks for the reply tlpeter!

since the apps folder were created in the steps before, the single command i wrote will automatically place any rpm files in the apps directory and ask before overwriting them! :) But still a good point!
