Obtaining the patches
Obtain the MCP patches from the Nortel support site (http://support.nor tel.com/ ) or have them pushed to the site using Nortel’s Regional Patch Selector (RPS) service. The file containing the System Manager core upgrade is named according to the load name. For example, the load name for the archive MCP_11.0.1.0.zip is MCP_11.0.1.0. The System Manager creates patch load directories under /var/mcp/loads.
Patches can be in V, R, or S status. S status patches are patches that have been submitted to RPS but have not yet reached V or R status.
Use these procedures to obtain MCP core software load patches manually or enable the Regional Patch Selector notification.
