Attention: All Network Elements are taken out of service during the
installation of patches. However, impact to call processing is minimal as
Session Managers are configured with Hot Standby instances.

Alarm Bar of the System Management console for critical alarms and
clear them before installing patches.
Obtain the IP addresses of all System Managers in the system.
