Updating Sametime Video MCU to FP1
Run the installation program to update the IBM® Sametime® 9.0.1 Video MCU to Feature Pack 1.
Before you begin
Procedure
- On the computer on which you are upgrading the Sametime Video MCU, log on as root.
- Download the FP1 update for this server from IBM Fix Central.
- Extract all downloaded packages.
-
Access the directory where you installed the Video MCU and locate the
console.properties file:
/opt/IBM/Sametime/STVideoMCU/console.properties
-
Edit the console.properties file and fill in all settings before saving
and closing the file.
Comments embedded in the file explain what information to provide for each setting. Use the following settings as an example:
- Fully qualified domain name:
SSCHostName=SametimeHost01.renovations.com
HTTP - port: (so SSL)
SSCHTTPPort=9080
HTTP - port (if SSL is enabled):
SSCHTTPSPort=9443
- Enable SSL between this host and Sametime System
Console:
SSCSSLEnabled=true
- Add the following statement to disable TLSv1.2 encryption because it is not supported prior to
Feature Pack 1 (you can enable it after you complete the upgrade):
Tlsv12Enabled=false
- System Console administrator:
SSCUserName=wasadmin
Sametime - Sametime
- System Console administrator password:
SSCPassword=password
- Unique deployment plan name:
depName=VMCU_Sametime901_04
- Fully qualified domain name (no IP addresses):
localHostName=Sametime901_04.renovations.com
- Java™ home:
JAVA_HOME=/usr
Note: For theJAVA_HOME
setting, the value /bin/java is automatically appended to the path you provide. For example, if you installed Java at /usr/bin/java, then specify /usr for theJAVA_HOME
value.
- Fully qualified domain name:
- Change to the directory where you extracted the Sametime Video MCU files.
-
Upgrade the Sametime Video MCU by entering the
following command:
./upgrade.sh
-
Open the file, /mcms/Cfg/NetworkCfg_Management.xml. If necessary, change
the
IS_SECURED
flag from false to true. -
If you did not change the value of the
IS_SECURED
flag in step 9, proceed directly to step 11.If you changed the value of
IS_SECURED
in step 9, restart the Video MCU by entering the following command:service soft_mcu restart
-
When the upgrade is complete, log in to the Sametime
System Console.
Open a browser and navigate to the following address:
http://host_name.domain:8700/ibm/console
where host_name.domain is the fully qualified domain name of the Sametime System Console server; for example: http://sametime_ssc.example.com:8700/ibm/console
- In the navigation tree, click Sametime System Console > Sametime Servers > Sametime Video MCU servers.
- Click Video MCU global settings.
- If you had changed any of the Video MCU global settings after installing Video MCU, make those same changes after upgrading because some settings might have been changed during the upgrade process. Make the changes and click OK.
-
To allow the changes to take effect, restart the Video MCU by entering the following
command:
service soft_mcu restart
- To validate the upgrade, see the topic Validating the Sametime Video MCU installation.
