Installing Software from a Network Management Station 4-3
Before installing the software from CD-ROM, make sure that:
■ Your network management station is running Solaris 2.4 or 2.5x, SunOS 4.1.4,
HP-UX 9.0.5, 10.10 or 10.20, or IBM AIX 3.2.5, 4.1.4 or 4.2. To verify the
operating system environment, enter:
uname -a
The version message refers to Solaris 2.5x as SunOS 5.5.
■ You know the root password.
■ The network management station has sufficient disk space for the amount of
software you are installing. Minimal disk storage requirements are dependent
on the number of NETBuilder systems being installed. Allocate 40 MB for the
NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities and software image, 4 MB for each
NETBuilder II system.
■ The NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities released with this software
package have been installed on the network management station. Refer to
Upgrading NETBuilder Family Software for more information.
■ Install a blank flash memory card in the NETBuilder II bridge/router. For
installation instructions, refer to the NETBuilder II Flash Memory Drive
Installation Guide.
For a list of flash memory cards that can be used with the CEC 20 module, refer
to the software release notes.
