Preparing the System Software and Database

After verifying your licenses, you must do the following to prepare for Hot Standby:

• Verify that the VidyoPortal software on VP1 and VP2 has the latest version and the same security patches applied.
  
  
  1. Open a new (or return to an already open) System Console for VP1 using the Native IP or FQDN address you designated for VP.
     
     
  2. Enter m for more options.
     
     
  3. Press the Enter key.
     
     The software version is shown in red at the top of the System Console.
     
     
     
     
  4. Confirm that both of your machines are running the same software version.
     If desired, you may leave the VP1 System Console open.
     
     
• Back up and download the database on the machine you’re using as VP1. For more information, see Performing System Maintenance.
