Hi Nikhil!
In general you should be able anyhow to add the key through the web interface, that should
be up even if no key is present. So if you can not access the web site, you should check your
firewall, network settings and/or try to reboot the VCS (handy to have a virtual or serial console up during the
boot process to see if there are any errors when the vcs comes up).
Besides that, sure its possible to enter release and option keys through the tsh/admin login.
xcommand OptionKeyAdd
I did not find anything about adding a release key, what I would do is to upgrade (or use the same software version)
and follow the command line (via root user) info:
Upgrading using secure copy (SCP/PSCP)
To upgrade using a secure copy program such as SCP or PSCP (part of the PuTTY free Telnet/SSH package) you need to transfer two files to the VCS:
n Atextfilecontainingjustthe16-characterReleaseKey(requiredfortheVCSplatformcomponentonly). Ensure there is no extraneous white space in this file.
n Thefilecontainingthesoftwareimage. To transfer these files:
-
If you are upgrading the VCS platform component, upload the Release Key file using SCP/PSCP to the /tmp/ folder on the system. The target name must be release-key, for example:
scp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key
l Entertherootpasswordwhenprompted.
l TheReleaseKeyfilemustbeuploadedbeforetheimagefile.
-
Upload the software image using SCP/PSCP. l FortheVCSplatformcomponent:
o Uploadtothe/tmpfolderonthesystem.Thetargetnamemustbe/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz,for example: scp s42700x5.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz
