Platform software installation
This section describes how to install the AS 5300 platform software.
The platform software consists of the underlying Linux kernel, which is
the base-level software packages required for a Linux-based operating
system, and the customized Nortel software, scripts, and server
configurations that prepare the system for an AS 5300 environment. SIP
core AS 5300 servers require the platform software installation. Use these
procedures for the configuration of new servers and the reinstallation of the
platform software due to server recovery.
Many of the prompts displayed during installation have default values
contained within square brackets ([ ]). Pressing the Enter key indicates
acceptance of the default values.
The Linux installer presents a series of questions to the user. At certain
points during the question-and-answer process, the user is presented
with a summary of the choices made. The user then has the option of
correcting errors made during the earlier steps. Previous answers are
provided as defaults, allowing the user to quickly accept them as correct
values.
The Core Linux 11.0.x CD-ROM that shipped with your product contains
the Linux installation files.
Perform the installation procedures using the physical KVM console or the
RSA-II remote control.
Throughout these procedures, the term installer refers to the Linux
installation script, and not the person performing the installation.
