For example, you may want to do that to accelerate package upgrade time of a Toolpack system with multiple TMedia units. In fact, Toolpack will install and update TMedia units one at the time, so the system continues to run and handle calls through other TMedia (that may depend on your configuration) while one TMedia is being updated. By pre-installing the new package on all TMedia units, the Toolpack package switch will be faster since it won't have to install the package on each TMedia, but simply reboot them one after the other. Here is a quick procedure to manually install a package on TMedia units. \*\*\*\*\* Important note: This procedure requires tbautoinstall tool version 2.5.55 or above\*\* Fortunately, you can use tbautoinstall version 2.5.55 to install older package (2.3.X or 2.4.X). #### 1. Download packages You first need to download the TMedia packages archive for the appropriate version you want to install. Follow the ***Download Release*** and ***Install Release*** steps of Tmedia Minor Upgrade. #### 2. Start *tbautoinstall* tool Start the *tbautoinstall* tool, which is used for packages installation: ``` cd /lib/tb/toolpack/pkg/[NEW_PACKAGE]/bin/release/[PLATFORM]/ ``` Start the application with the ***-noreboot*** argument: ``` ./tbautoinstall -noreboot ``` #### 3. Select TMedia units to install You should now be within the *tbautoinstall* tool command-line interface. You should see a list of all your TMedia units. There are two ways of starting the installation: 1. Press 'i', and select the TMedia unit to install. Then press 'Enter'. You can also press 'i' multiple times to choose multiple TMedia units to install simultaneously. 2. OR, Press 'a', to enable "automatic install mode". All TMedia units that need to be updated will be installed simultaneously #### 4. Switch Toolpack to the new package You are now ready to "switch" Toolpack system to the new version. Follow the ***Activate**R**elease*** step of Tmedia Minor Upgrade. Toolpack will now relaunch applications one by one, then reboot adapters one by one on the newly installed package. ***Argument reference*** You may need want to use the following command-line arguments: ``` -gw [system_id] : Provide the system_id (also sometimes called TBX_GW_PORT) that your system is using. Default is 12358. -pkg [pkg_dir] : Provide the path of the directory that contains Tmedia packages. That should be [where_you_unzipped]/tb/bin -lic [license_dir] : Provide the path of the directory that contains your TMedia licenses -noreboot : Don't reboot TMedia after installation ``` Example: ``` tbautoinstall -gw 12358 -pkg ~/tb640-adapter.release/tb/bin -lic ~/my_licenses -noreboot ``` ``` - Note: You REALLY should use the -noreboot option, otherwise your TMedia units will be rebooted and you'll get dropped calls! ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/server-and-os-administration/manual-tmedia-upgrade.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
