3053.0. "Upgrading IOS gradually ..." by WELCLU::WELPC3::LI (Sau Ha Li @WLO) Thu Jul 22 1993 19:43

Hello,

I am currently helping a customer to plan a upgrade IOS V2.4 to V3.0. To make 
sure that we have plenty of time to test the system, we decided to do as much 
 prep as we can before the weekend. 

We are planning to upgrade NOTES, FMS and CDA during the week. Upgrade MR at 
one weekend and upgrade IOS the next.

What I would like to know is whether we can use the upgraded NOTES, FMS, CDA 
and MR with IOS V2.4. Will we get any problems? Do I need to relink IOS image 
after each upgrade?

thanks & regards,
Sau Ha

3053.1Just relink for NOTESAIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Thu Jul 22 1993 19:5822
    Sau Ha,
    
    Relinking is a good idea anyway even if it isn't absolutely necessary.
    Let's say you upgrade all 4 without relinking and then the install
    fails (not that a v3.0 install would ever do such a thing) it might
    be more difficult to troubleshoot if you didn't know when it last
    definitely worked.
    
    bear in mind that NOTES is the only one for which you have to do a
    relink in theory since
     
    a) ALL-IN-1 does not link against MR as such it just calls whatever is
       there - you can go to 3.1 to 3.2 transparently.
    b) CDA isn't a link question - it's sort of defined at install time
       but a look at the ALL-IN-1 link files should give you a clue
       about how to encourage ALL-IN-1 to see  the new CDA
    c) FMS is also not linked against ALL-IN-1 but what are you upgrading
       didn't v2.4 and v3.0 have the same FMS version 
    
    regards,
