System upgrades
The platform supports upgrades for the delivery of new interim releases. The installation or reinstallation provides the option to preserve the customer installation parameters for upgrade purposes. You can upgrade the complete platform including the operating system and Linux base applications.
Nortel Linux base uses the CLI upgrade command to reinstall or upgrade the base installation. Insert the Linux base installation CD is and invoke the upgrade command. You can choose to back up the data to a USB device, to an SFTP server, or type q to exit the upgrade operation. For more information about SFTP data back up, see “Network configuration for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) data backup” (page 143) At the beginning of reinstallation you can use the data stored in the USB device or the SFTP server. After the base installation is complete, you can invoke the appinstall command to install applications from the application CD or DVD .
The following application data is backed up during the Linux upgrade process and is restorable when the applications are reinstalled:
•Enterprise Common Manager data
•Subscriber Manager security certificates and CND connection details
•Element Manager data
Note: You must logon as nortel to run the installation or upgrade process.
