Upgrading the BlackBerry MVS software to support high availability

BlackBerry Mobile Voice System high availability provides redundancy of BlackBerry MVS components which offers greater service reliability to your BlackBerry MVS users. Prior to configuring high availability, you need to export the security information files from the first BlackBerry MVS Server installed in the BlackBerry Domain and install a second BlackBerry MVS Server. You can then configure a high availability association between the two BlackBerry MVS Server instances.

Exporting the security information files

When you install or upgrade the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System, you are asked to enter a Security Information Password and either generate or load security information files. The Security Information Password and security information files must be the same for all BlackBerry MVS instances in the BlackBerry Domain.

When you are installing or upgrading the BlackBerry MVS on more than one computer, you must load the security information files from the first computer onto all subsequent computers. You are prompted to do this when you install or upgrade the BlackBerry MVS. To make the security information files available, copy them from the first computer to a shared folder.

You also need the Security Information Password that you used when you installed the first BlackBerry MVS.
  1. On the computer where you want to install the BlackBerry MVS, log in using the Windows domain user account (for example, MVSadmin) that you created to install the BlackBerry MVS software.
  2. In the folder where the BlackBerry MVS installer is located, double-click the installer file.
  3. In the Winzip Self-Extractor window, click Unzip.
  4. When the Winzip Self-Extractor success dialog appears, click OK.
  5. If a User Account Control dialog appears, click Continue.
