Original RPM files not installed

Last Updated : May 20, 2020 |

The installation of a non-virtual machine includes copying the original RPM files used for each component's installation onto the server. Go to Updates menu and click Uninstall to uninstall the component before reinstalling. The presence of the copied original RPM files allows reinstallation on a non-virtual machine.

In order to reduce the size of the Avaya OVA file, by not including the original RPM files has the following effects:

  • You cannot reinstall the uninstalled components: You cannot reinstall a component if you delete the RPM file it from the server's Updates menu. Instead you need to transfer the appropriate RPM files to the server first.

  • You cannot upgrade other servers from the Primary: If the server is a Primary Server, it cannot be used to upgrade any Secondary Server or Expansion System (L) servers to match its software level. However, it can be used to upgrade Expansion System (V2) servers.

You can resolve the issues by: Following the server upgrade process to upload an ISO image to the server. This involves transferring a copy of the full ISO to the server, that automatically unpacks a full set of RPM files necessary to upgrade both Primary and other servers.
