You can upgrade XCO in a multi-node, high-availability deployment.
About this task
Follow this procedure to upgrade XCO in a
multi-node deployment using interactive mode.The upgrade process takes approximately 10
to 15 minutes to complete. During the upgrade process, XCO services are down but
users or automated systems can continue to make calls into XCO.
