Upgrading to the VCS 5.0 Java Console

When you upgrade to VCS release 5.0, you must also upgrade the Java Console (GUI) that you installed on a separate system. VCS 5.0 supports earlier versions of the Java Console, but earlier VCS versions cannot support later versions of Java Console.

  Note   The VCS 5.0 Java Console requires JRE version 1.5. If necessary, you can add it when you add the Java Console RPM.

Use one of the following applicable procedures:

 To upgrade Java console on Linux

1. Log in as superuser on the node where you intend to install the RPM.
2. Remove the GUI from the previous installation.

   For example, to remove a GUI installed with VCS 2.1, 2.1 P1, 2.1 P2, 2.2, 2.2 MP1, or 2.2 MP2, type:

   # rpm -e VRTScscm

3. Insert the software disc with the VCS software into a drive connected to the system.
4. Install the VCS Java Console.
