•AIX workstation running the IBM AIX 4.1 operating system

—4 MB available in a temporary directory

—60 MB free in the directory where you want to install the Device Manager software

—32 MB DRAM

Installing the Device Manager software in a UNIX environment requires two or three steps, depending on the specific platform:

1In a Solaris environment, install Solaris patches (next).

2In all three environments, install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE):

•For a Solaris environment, the JRE is available on the Nortel Networks Services and Support Web site (page 23).

•For an HP-UX or IBM AIX environment, go to the HP or IBM Web site to obtain the JRE (page 25 or page 26).

3Install the Device Manager software.

You only need to install the Solaris patches and JRE once. After they are installed, you can upgrade your system to later versions of Device Manager without installing the patches and JRE again.

Installing the software in a Solaris environment

To install the Device Manager software in a Solaris environment:

1Install Solaris patches. Nortel Networks provides the necessary patches for Solaris 5.5.1 and Solaris 5.6.

a Use the uname -acommand to determine the version of Solaris that is installed on your workstation.

b On the Business Policy Switch UNIX software Web page, click one of the following links to download the correct patches for your Solaris version:
