Getting Started with the Business Policy Switch 2000 Management Software
• AIX workstation running the IBM AIX 4.1 operating system
— 120 MB space on the hard disk
— 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:
1 In a Solaris environment, install Solaris patches (next).
2 In 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).
3 Install 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:
1 Install Solaris patches. Nortel Networks provides the necessary patches for
Solaris 5.5.1 and Solaris 5.6.
a Use the
uname -a command 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:
— 1.1.8_09a_patches_sparc_5.5.1.tar for Solaris 5.5.1
— 1.1.8_09a_patches_sparc_5.6.tar for Solaris 5.6
c For instructions to install the patches, click README.sparc_1.1.8_09a.
