Nortel Networks 53r 5300 00 manual Cd /var/mcp/os/install/images, File Description

Applying the Linux Maintenance Release 93

Procedure Steps

Step Action

1Load the CD containing the MCP Core Linux platform Maintenance Release into the CD-ROM tray of the primary System Manager.

2Log on to the System Manager as the ntsysgrp role (ntsysadm) using SSH.

3Change to root user: su -

4Change directory:

cd /var/mcp/os/install/images

(The patching script creates this directory. Therefore, this directory will not exist on systems that have not been patched.)

5Delete existing files: rm –rf *

6Copy the installation files from the CD: mcpCopyFromCD.pl

The following files are copied:

File	Description
mcp_core_linux_*.iso	Container for the installation files used for the platform
	patching. Platform patch image files are cumulative;
	they contain all previously released patches.
mcp_core_linux_*.relnotes.txt	Release notes containing a description of the patch
	files, how to apply them, and the release level to which
	the system is updated.
mcp_core_linux_*.iso.md5sum.txt	Checksum file provided for patch file integrity validation.

7Exit the SSH session for users with ntsysgrp and ntappgrp roles and remove the CD from the CD-ROM tray.

Attention: If you are applying a platform patch to a server with only the platform OS installed, skip steps 8 through 13.
