Release Notes for Cisco CDA Visual Quality Experience Application Release 3.10

Installing VQE Release 3.10 Software

/etc. For parameters that will be under the control of the VQE CMS, a VQE incremental upgrade restores

the parameter values (from the existing /etc configuration files) in the set of newly installed /etc

configuration files.

A VQE incremental upgrade is done with an executable installer—a single executable file that includes

all VQE-S packages needed for the upgraded VQE software version. Each VQE incremental upgrade

requires that the system already has a previously released complete VQE software package installed,

including configuration files. Otherwise, the VQE incremental upgrade installer quits and informs you

to use an ISO installation.

A VQE incremental upgrade assumes that the existing software version is complete. It does not remove

any extra software that is installed on your system and that is not required to run the VQE software.

However, use of non-Cisco release software may produce unpredictable results and is not recommended

or supported.
