Do not use these instructions for a new installation; instead, refer to the PictureTel Prism Installation Guide. Read through the entire chapter before you begin. The following topics are covered in this chapter: u u Backing Up the Current Software Installing the MCS Application Software Version 5. 0C, including the BPU 7-slot chassis/8-user option software included with dual-BPU upgrade kits Installing the Workstation Software for Version 5. 0C Testing the New Software Caution During installation of kits that include a second BPU, you must reinstall all the options diskettes that came with the Prism. Locate these diskettes before starting the upgrade or you will not be able to complete the procedure. u u 2-1 UPGRADING THE MCS SOFTWARE Backing Up the Current Software Before you begin the upgrade procedure, back up the current installation. This will be helpful if you need to restore it at any point during the upgrade. If you need to restore the current installation, refer to the PictureTel Prism User's Guide, Chapter 9. Removing Non-Essential Files During normal operation, a variety of non-essential log and tracking files are generated. These may be removed before performing the backup. To remove log, accounting, and tracking files from the MCS before performing a backup: 1. Change directories to C:\mcu_prnt. On the Prism console, in a Workplace Shell window, at a shell prompt, enter: CD C:\MCU_PRNT 2. and *. evt files. At the shell prompt, enter these commands: DEL *. TRK DEL *. AC?DEL *. EVT Note: It is normal to see some error messages indicating that some files are in use and cannot be deleted. This is because the files for active processes are open; open files cannot be deleted. Backing Up All Software to Tape The procedure in this section describes how to back up everything on the Prism hard drive to tape. If anything goes wrong during the upgrade, you'll be able to recover by restoring this tape. 2-2 Backing Up the Current Software You must back up the MCS software to a formatted tape--or several tapes--which you provide for this procedure. Do not use the MCS Base Software tape to back up the MCS software. Insert a blank formatted tape into the MCS tape drive. On the Prism (not the Workstation PC), open a shell window. After the MCS reboots, BackMaster backs up the entire hard disk and then a prompt to reboot the system is displayed. Note: If you see an error message, correct the error and repeat this step. 3.
