[cisco-voip] Device Pack installation question

[Wes Sisk]

Device Packs may (not always) change items for which there is no change notification. To that end when a device pack is applied a reboot is required to ensure full and proper deployment.

Wes

Thanks Eric, I keep forgetting I have to look at the file from my "cart" on cisco.com to get a link to the readme file. Found it and I see what you are talking about now.

I found this line in a 7.1.x device pack readme, which is the same as
old windows version device packs. If your running a device pack to add
support for a new phone/etc you need to do a cluster wide reboot, but
if the device pack just upgrades firmware for existing phone/device
types you don't need to reboot. You may need to manually restart the
TFTP service (not sure if the device pack install does that).

From 7.1.x device pack readme,

When applying this Device Package to enable new device support, a
cluster-wide reboot is required for those devices to register
successfully.   A clusterwide reboot IS NOT required when running to
update existing firmware/support.
