Other Installation Packages

If you previously downloaded individual installation packages to a system disk, open the Upgrade Side folder that contains the installation packages. Run each installation program, one at a time.

N O T E

Before installing any software, ensure that you are working on the Upgrade Side desktop (through a remote connection). Do not install software on the Production Side.

Some installation programs might require you to restart the operating system on the Upgrade Side. You can allow these installation programs to restart the Upgrade Side automatically, or you can manually restart later. You can restart the Upgrade Side as many times as necessary to complete the installation; however, you might want to avoid restarting until you have run additional installation programs to reduce the total number of times you need to restart.

See “Restarting the Upgrade Side” on page 4-12 for information about reconnecting to the Upgrade Side after you restart it.
