CVP Engineering Special Installation Planning

 

Installing CVP12.6(1) ES10

Pre-Installation Steps:

 

1. It is mandatory to install 12.5.1 as a base and 12.6.1 FCS before installing CVP12.6(1) ES10. The ES10 is a cumulative ES and can be installed on top of ES06, ES08 or ES09.

2. Before installing the patch, the audio files must be backed up from the C:\Cisco\CVP\VXMLServer\Tomcat\webapps\CVP\audio folder.

3. Take backup of all the custom files, if any. The custom files are located in the lib folder of the application-specific directory in the VXML server. For example, the files for HelloWorld custom application are located in the C:\Cisco\CVP\VXMLServer\Application\Helloworld\lib folder.

4. Ignore the message “THIS BUILD IS FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY” in the first page of ES installation. This message will be fixed in the subsequent ES release.

 

Patching Unified CVP VXMLServer and CallServer:

 

1. Stop CVP VXMLServer service and CallServer service.

2. Run the patch installer.

3. Reboot the machine.

 

Patching Unified OPSConsoleServer:

 

1. Stop Cisco CVP OPSConsoleServer service.

2. Run the patch installer.

3. Reboot the machine.

 

Patching Unified CVP Reporting Server:

 

1. Stop CVP CallServer service.

2. Run the patch installer.

3. Reboot the machine.

 

Post Installation Steps:

 

1. Ensure that all services are up and running after the patch is installed.

2. Ensure that the audio folder is created under \Cisco\CVP\VXMLServer\Tomcat\webapps\CVP

3. Restore the backed-up audio files and the custom files.

4. To restore the existing AppD Connection, follow the below steps:

1.     Login to Cloud Connect with app user.

2.     Run the command "utils app-monitoring enable".

3.     Provide the parameters details. Please refer to the AppD documentation for more information.

 

 

Uninstalling CVP12.6(1) ES10

1. To uninstall this patch, go to Control Panel.

2. Select "Add or Remove Programs".

So, avoid uninstallation. To fall back to older version of AppD follow the below steps:

1.     Stop all the CVP services from the machine using service.msc application.

2.     Delete Appdynamics folder from C:\Cisco\CVP.

3.     Rename C:\Cisco\CVP\Appdynamics_backup folder to C:\Cisco\CVP\Appdynamics.

4.     Start all the CVP services.
