Install Nortel Linux base
Nortel Communication Server 1000 (CS 1000) Linux base introduces
a two-stage installation procedure. The operating system is installed,
and then the applications. You can upgrade the current application
configuration using the existing operating system, or you can reinstall an
application configuration using the existing operating system.
Each Linux server platform requires an installation of the base-level
software. You start the installation from a bootable CD. The process
includes the partitioning of hard disk drives, installation of the Linux kernel
and the Linux root file system, associated device drivers, and the base
system commands and utilities. The process ends with a fully functional
Nortel Linux base server.
The Linux server supports two network interfaces, TLAN and ELAN. The
choice of network interface is based on network topology and application
deployment.
For a definition of the Embedded Local Area Network (ELAN) and the
Telephony Local Area Network (TLAN) see
“Network configuration” (page
143) .
Prerequisites
Before you install the Linux base you must complete the following tasks:
• Gather the following necessary customer information:
— ELAN IP address
— ELAN gateway IP address
— ELAN netmask
— The host name associated with the TLAN
