A standalone media server that is not part of a cluster is referred to as a simplex media server.

A simplex media server is upgraded as follows:

• Back up the server data.

• End active sessions by setting the server through a progression of Pending Lock, Lock, and Stopped states.

• Uninstall media server applications.

• Perform either the automatic or manual upgrade procedure.

• Verify the system is functional and that there are no unexpected alarms.

• Back up the new system.
