[cisco-voip] changing an 8.x security password?

[Ryan Ratliff]

You can try a recovery disk to switch versions as well.

Your "A Cisco DB" is not running, which means your database is down.  Did you change hostnames or IP addresses at any point?

When you try to switch versions it gives an error.. 
admin:utils system switch-version 

Active Master Version: 8.0.3.10000-8

Inactive Master Version: 8.0.2.10000-24



If you are switching to an earlier release, you must run:


utils dbreplication reset all

from the publisher after all the nodes are switched over.


Do you really want to switch between versions ?

Enter (yes/no)? yes

Switching Version and Restarting the Appliance ...

Switch version duration can vary depending on the database size
and platform configuration.  Please continue to monitor the
switchover process from here.

Why can't you swap versions? Is there a specific error or?
