Upgrade Helios to Izar

Warning

For Izar Debian was upgraded to Debian 11 (Bullseye).

Therefore:

  • the upgrade to Izar will take longer than usual

  • upgrade from older version than XiVO Freya (2020.18) are not supported (you need first to upgrade to a version above or equal to Freya before being able to upgrade to Izar).

Please read carefully Debian 11 (Bullseye) upgrade notes page.

Note also that upgrade to Debian 11 on MDS and XiVO CC is manual (see manual procedure below).

Warning

For Izar asterisk SIP channel driver was switched from chan_sip to pjsip.

Please read carefully the Asterisk chan_sip to pjsip Migration Guide.

Before Upgrade

On XiVO PBX

Python3 migration: Phone Device Plugins

Important

In short, you must check that the plugins installed on the XiVO are present in the new python3 compatible repo:

http://provd.xivo.solutions/plugins/2/stable

If not you will need some additional checks before upgrading.

All xivo python services were switched to python3, including xivo-provd our provisioning server. It makes all python2 provisioning plugins incompatible.

During upgrade:

But you have to know that:

  1. In the http://provd.xivo.solutions/plugins/2/stable repository only Yealink (v85) and Snom (v10) plugins were kept (i.e. the officialy supported phone brands)

  2. The rest of the plugins were put in the http://provd.xivo.solutions/plugins/2/addons/ repository:

    • those in addons/stable are migrated to python3 and were tested

    • those in addons/testing were automatically migrated to python3 but not tested

Therefore, if the plugin installed by your XiVO:

  • is present in plugins/2/stable: then everything is automatic

  • is present in plugins/2/addons/stable: then you will need an additional manual step after the migration to configure this repo and update you’re installed plugin from this repo

  • is present in plugins/2/addons/testing: you should test this plugin on a lab on Izar version before doing the upgrade. If you find some problems, please fix them and open a Merge request on the xivo-provd-plugins-addons repository

Python3 migration: Scripts and AGI

Important

In short, you must check that your custom AGI are compatible with python3.

All xivo python services were switched to python3, including xivo-agid our AGI server. It makes all python2 custom AGI incompatible.

You must update your custom AGI from python2 to python3 before upgradeing your XiVO.

It is also true of all python scritps that would import one of xivo-* python libs (like xivo-confd-client or xivo-lib-python).

Manual steps to follow after xivo-ctid containerization

Backend certificate re-generation: if you had followed the Install Trusted Certificate for Backend services procedure, then you MUST regenerate the self-signed certificate used for the backend services:

  1. Check if the backend certificate is self-signed

    (openssl x509 -in /usr/share/xivo-certs/server.crt -noout -issuer | grep -wq Avencall) && echo "Certificate is self-signed" || echo "Certificate is not self-signed. You MUST re-generate the backend certificate"

  2. If it is not self-signed, follow the Default Backend Certificate section to regerate a self-signed certificate. Otherwise, if it is self-signed, you can skip the rest of this procedure.

  3. Then remove the certificate configuration for xivo services:

    rm -rf /etc/xivo/custom
for config_dir in /etc/xivo-*/conf.d/ ; do
  rm "$config_dir/010-custom-certificate.yml"
done

  4. Clean custom-templates:

    1. Remove the FQDN from the 127.0.0.1 line in:

      • the sysconfd custom template: /etc/xivo/sysconfd/custom-templates/resolvconf/hosts

      • the xivo custom template: /etc/xivo/custom-templates/system/etc/hosts

    2. And update the configuration:

      xivo-update-config

  5. Also, you must replace the FQDN, in the definition of your directories in the web interface under Configuration ‣ Directories, by localhost.

  6. Then, when done, you must re-save, the CTI Directories definition:

    • Go to Services ‣ CTI Server ‣ Directories ‣ Definitions

    • Edit each directory to re-select the new URI

    • And save it

  7. And restart all the services:

    xivo-service restart all

Removing xivo-ctid debian package leftovers: some lefovers of the xivo-ctid debian package should be cleaned manually. You may want to backup these files before cleaning them.

# Clean config dir which is not used anymore
rm -rf /etc/xivo-ctid
# Clean old logs
rm -rf /var/log/xivo-ctid.log*

Recording on Gateway

If you’re using the Recording on Gateway feature, you MUST update the recording dialplan with the one provided in the Izar documentation:

  1. Update recording dialplan on Gateway according to Gateway recording on GW dialplan

  2. Update recording dialplan on XiVO PBX according to XiVO PBX recording on GW dialplan

On XiVO CC

On MDS

On Edge

  • Upgrade system to Debian 11 (Bullseye):

    1. Rewrite the apt preferences for docker-ce

      #set docker-ce preferences
cat > /etc/apt/preferences.d/docker-ce << EOF
Package: docker-ce*
Pin: version 5:20.10.13*
Pin-Priority: 1000
EOF

    2. and then follow the Debian 11 upgrade manual procedure:

On Meeting Rooms

  • Upgrade system to Debian 11 (Bullseye):

    1. Rewrite the apt preferences for docker-ce

      #set docker-ce preferences
cat > /etc/apt/preferences.d/docker-ce << EOF
Package: docker-ce*
Pin: version 5:20.10.13*
Pin-Priority: 1000
EOF

    2. and then follow the Debian 11 upgrade manual procedure:

Upgrade to Debian11

  • These steps are to be done after an upgrade from Helios to Izar on XiVO CC, Edge and Meeting Rooms:

    1. Check GRUB before upgrading

      install_device=$(debconf-show grub-pc | grep 'grub-pc/install_devices:' | cut -b3- | cut -f2 -d' ' | cut -d',' -f1)
if [ "$install_device" -a ! -e "$install_device" ]; then
  echo -e "\e[1;31mYou must install GRUB BEFORE upgrading\e[0m"
fi

      If it’s broken you can fix it this way before rechecking

      apt update
apt install grub-pc
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

    2. Upgrade to Debian11

      # Move to bullseye
sed -i 's/stretch/bullseye/' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
sed -i 's/buster/bullseye/' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
sed -i 's/bullseye\/updates/bullseye-security/' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
export APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none
force_yes="--allow-downgrades --allow-remove-essential --allow-change-held-packages"

echo "Download packages..."
apt full-upgrade -d --yes
echo "Executing full upgrade actions..."
apt full-upgrade --yes ${force_yes} -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"
apt autoremove --yes

    3. Reboot
