VidyoReplay version 20.2.0 or later

Important notices

  • You must upgrade to VidyoReplay version 21.2.0 from VidyoReplay version 19.1.0. or later. If you have a VidyoReplay version earlier than 19.1.0, you must first upgrade to 19.1.0 and then upgrade to version 21.2.0. Once you have done so, refer to the Upgrade a VidyoReplay Cluster to 21.2.0 section below. These steps must be completed in order.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to support HTML5 playback, when you upgrade to VidyoReplay 21.2.0, your existing recordings undergo an automatic conversion process. It takes approximately 30 seconds to convert an hour-long video. During the conversion process:
  • Recordings that are in the queue to be converted cannot be played back via the web interface.
  • Recordings are available for download.
  • New recordings can be made; however, as the number of recordings in progress increases, the automatic conversion process may slow down.
  • We highly recommend upgrading to VidyoReplay 21.2.0 during a period of expected low usage to allow the conversion process to complete.

Upgrade a VidyoReplay cluster to 21.2.0

To upgrade a VidyoReplay cluster to 21.2.0, you must perform the following steps in order:

  1. Place all Cluster Nodes into Maintenance mode.
  2. Upgrade all the Cluster Nodes.
  3. When the Cluster Node upgrades are completed and back online, upgrade the current Standby Controller.
  4. When the Standby Controller upgrade is complete, upgrade the Active Controller. The previous Standby Controller will now become the 21.2.0 Active Controller.
  5. When the former Active Controller completes its upgrade, it will then become the 21.2.0 Standby Controller.
  6. Note:If you do not perform the above steps in order, there will be cluster instability and/or configuration loss.

Compatibility

VidyoReplay version 21.2.0 is compatible with VidyoPortal versions 20.1.x or later.

If your organization has an on-premises VidyoPortal (rather than a cloud subscription), refer to the Vidyo compatibility matrix to determine which endpoint versions are compatible with your VidyoReplay release.
