[cisco-voip] restart servers after COP files installed on all servers or as each server install is finished?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

the order of the servers is understood. 

what i'm hoping to understand is whether or not rebooting each server after the software is installed (before beginning the install on another) is OK. 

i guess the bigger question is this, is a server out of service once the installation has taken place and will only work once rebooted?

Hi, I usually install first on pub then tftp servers then subs. Reboot pub, tftps then subs (one server by CM group so service is still usable during the change)

I opened a case with the TAC to get some assistance with respect to installing multiple COP files. They suggested that I install all COP files then proceed with the restart of the cluster. However, they also suggested that I install the COP files on all the servers first and then restart the cluster. 

If I have to wait until all the servers have their files installed before rebooting, it's going to be a much longer service interruption since phones won't have a server to connect to once the backups are gone. 

I'd rather (if allowed) restart the server after the files are installed. 

Also, the instructions say to use the web browser to do the install, is there an option to use the CLI? 

Thoughts?
