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.

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.
