Code Block
 wget -oO /etc/yum.repos.d/sipxecs.repo  <URL to repo file here>

Step 3. Shutdown sipxecs and update your system.

Code Block
service sipxecs stop
yum update -y

It's good to let your system update all it's packages because

  1. The binaries were probably built with the latest packages
  2. If ever you needed to update a package for security reasons, you'd want to minimize the changes to your system
  3. It's often a requirement for getting assistance on mailing list
  4. If you do have any problems, most likely others will see the problem as well and provide a quick solution to your issue.

If you have multiple systems in a cluster (all managed by one Management server), upgrade all the systems as above
reboot (management system first).
Log in to the the management UI, go to System -> Servers, select the management server, and press Send Profiles.
Reboot each distributed server, and when it is up select it on the servers page and press Send Profiles.

Step 4. Follow each of the Before post-install instructions starting with the version you currently have installed. Then come back to this step and continue.
