Installing software

The software installation page displays the packages available for installation.

Before you begin

You must perform the following steps using a privileged administrator account with the necessary rights.

To create a privileged administrator login, see Adding a privileged administrator login.
To provide the necessary rights, log in to the SMI as a privileged administrator. Use the Web Access Mask SMI page to create a new mask that has the Software Install rights. For more information, see Adding a Web Access Mask.
After you create the mask, use the Administrator Accounts SMI page to create a new user or change the properties of an existing user and add the mask that you created to the Additional groups (profile) field.

Perform a full system backup. See Backing up system files.
On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Software Management > Software Install.
Click Continue without current system backup.
The system lists all the available software packages that you can install, including all software packages and patches that you have previously downloaded.
Select the software packages that you want to install.
Click Install selected packages.
