Activating a Software Release
From TBwiki
Applies to versions: v2.6, v2.7
Note: This procedure affects service.
Once the new release version is installed, it is necessary to activate the new software version in the system.
- Warning
- This requires a restart of the Tmedia platforms and will affect service until the new version activation is complete.
- Go to the 'System' -> 'Edit' menu.
- Select the new release version in the 'Activate package' dropdown box.
- Press the 'Activate' button to start the new release activation.
- It will take a few minutes for the system to upgrade.
- You can verify the status of the upgrade by using the tool tbx_cli_tools_remote and selecting the tboamapp application
- You can fallback to another release by doing the "Activate Release" action again from the web portal. If you do not have access to the Web Portal, follow the 'How To Fallback to an older Software Release"
Accelerate activation of a release
Activating a new release may take up to 10 minutes per TMedia unit. In order to accelerate the activation, two options are available:
- Pre-install release on the TMedia units in background (see above)
- Enable simultaneous upgrade of all TMedia units, in the Web Portal 'Applications' -> 'Configurations' -> 'tboamapp -> Edit' -> Allow upgrade of all adapters simultaneously
