Upgrade Notes

This section contain specific upgrade notes for customers planning to upgrade to 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
 6.1.1. For details on supported releases and upgrades, see SBC Edge 7.0 Release Notes.

Prerequisites for Upgrades

Upgrade System Software Release 3.2 and prior

For details on upgrading earlier systems, see the following: 

A new Boot Image upgrade (U-Boot 3.1.6o) is available with the release of the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 R3.1.0 b283 software.  

Although upgrading the Boot Image is not mandatory, it is highly recommended.  This release of the Boot Image remedies a known issue with resetting the SBC Edge to factory defaults.

Apply new SIP License (if required)

Running releases older than Release 3.0 require an upgraded SIP license key.

The new SIP license key must be applied before upgrading the system software.

All SIP-SIP call sessions now require a SIP license. Systems purchased before March 31, 2013 and provided with free SIP Licenses are grandfathered, and no purchase is necessary. Contact your Sonus sales representative to acquire a new (free) SIP license key.

Only one call case requires a SIP call license. This is the case where both inbound and outbound channels are SIP. The exception for SIP calls to another 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
, the Sonus Tenor Series or the Sonus VX Series, however, still exists. If one or both of the call legs are to one of these devices,then a SIP call license will not be used.

Upgrade SBC 2000 eUSB Flash Drive - Automatic

The eUSB based flash drive may require a firmware update. This is an automatic process and is executed as a part of the internal upgrade process. If the eUSB firmware is upgraded, the SBC 2000 reboot process will run approximately one minute longer than usual.

This is applicable to the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
 only.

NOTE: Loss of Logs and Core Dumps

If the eUSB upgrade is executed, all logs and core dumps will be lost. However the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
configuration will not be affected.

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
Communications Service is covered in the general SBC upgrade guide. Make sure that it is upgraded, then follow the remaining instructions here; extra steps are required to update the ASM Recovery Partition.

Install Skype/Lync SBA Server Cumulative Updates

You may skip this section if your SBC 1000-2000 hardware is not configured with a built-in ASM deployed as a Skype/Lync SBA.

Microsoft has released the following Cumulative Updates for these respective Skype/Lync Server releases:

Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.

Perform the following to apply this update to the Skype/Lync deployed ASM:

  1. Download the CU package from the Salesforce Portal.
  2. Follow the instructions outlined in Installing Cumulative Updates for Skype/Lync SBA.
Install Windows Service Packs and Windows Updates Using ASM Roll-up Update

Windows Service Packs and Windows Updates are installed using the ASM Roll-up Update feature. Sonus publishes Update Packs on a regular basis through the Salesforce Portal. The Update Packs work with Windows Update and other Non-Windows updates in order to keep the ASM up-to-date. The Update Packs contain tested and authorized Windows updates. Note that the Update Packs do not contain the actual Windows Service Packs and Updates. Once the Update Pack has been installed, the Windows Update State link in the Operational Status section will change to Updates Available - Install. The actual updates are installed using this link.

Step 3: Upgrade the 
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
  System

Before performing the system upgrade, ensure  Step 1: Backup Configuration (Mandatory) and Step 2: Upgrade SBC with Built-in ASM are completed.

Follow the general upgrade procedure outlined in the Upgrading SBC Edge section.

Additional Upgrade Notes

Self-Signed Server Certificate 5.0 and later - SHA2-256 Support

For Release 5.0 and later in the 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
, the SHA-1 self-signed certificate is automatically replaced with the stronger SHA2-256 CA certificate (regardless of expiration). This adheres to Microsoft's plan policy announcement for Certificate Authorities (CAs) that deprecates the use of the SHA1 algorithm in SSL and code signing certificates, in favor of SHA2. For more information, see Microsoft's SHA1 Deprecation Policy.

Beginning in January 2017, Mozilla Firefox will not support SHA-1 certificates. To support this browser, the node must be upgraded to Release 5.0 or later to replace the existing self-signed certificate (SHA1) with an updated self-signed certificate (SHA 2-256).

SBC Upgrade Path

The following previously released versions of 

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
 can be upgraded to Release 6.1.1. If the version you currently use is not on this list, please contact your Sonus Networks representative for assistance.
