Notes About Upgrading Software on the Headquarters Server
If you are upgrading your ShoreWare Headquarters server, follow the same process
used for installing new software. Setup will automatically determine that an upgrade is
in process, and you will be presented with a subset of the installation wizard screens.
(There is no need to change the destination folders of the ShoreWare files.)
Setup will look for the ShoreTel 6.1 database. If a database is found and it is an older
version, Setup will make a backup copy and convert the database to the latest release.
Note that Setup will not overwrite an existing database.
All voice applications (voice mail, automated attendant, workgroups, and so on) are
affected until the upgrade is complete.
At the end of the installation you are warned that the installation will stop all
ShoreWare services (see Figure 17-9).
Figure 17-9 Warning
To finish the upgrade, restart your ShoreGear voice switches so that they will upgrade
their firmware (this affects all calls in progress). Then upgrade your distributed servers.
Installing Software on a Distributed Server
A distributed ShoreWare server has the same software prerequisites as the main
ShoreWare server. Before beginning software installation, you should close all programs
and be sure no anti-virus software is running.
