Upgrade Checklist

Before upgrading the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller software:

  1. Obtain the name and location of the target software image file from either Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (https://edelivery.oracle.com/) or My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com) as applicable.
  2. All systems are provisioned with the 64-bit Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller image file in the boot parameters. 64-bit image files are recognized by the "64" between the image revision and file extension. e.g., nnSCZ720.64.bz .
  3. Verify the integrity of your configuration using the ACLI verify-config command.
  4. Back up a well-working configuration. Name the file descriptively so you can fall back to this configuration easily.
  5. Acme Packet 4500 users must verify that the stage 1 and stage 2 bootloaders are dated July 3, 2013 or later. Use the show version boot ACLI command for this query. Stage 1 and stage 2 bootloaders are available from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com) under their respective hardware listing.
  6. Refer to the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller Release Notes for any caveats involving software upgrades.
  7. Note that all Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controllers have password secure mode enabled-meaning that you must accurately track your password information. To learn more about password secure mode, refer to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide's Data Storage Security section
