Installing service packs

To install a service pack:

  1. If necessary, log in as root.
  2. At the command prompt, type cd /export/patch to change to the directory containing the current service pack package (in compressed form).
  3. Type stop_vs and press Enter to stop the voice system.
  4. Type uncompress sp_package.ds.Z where sp_package.ds.Z is the name of the compressed service pack file in the /export/patch directory. Press Enter.

    The service pack uncompresses in the current directory.

  5. Type pkgadd -d ./sp_package.ds sp_package where sp_package.ds is the name of the uncompressed service pack package and sp_package is the name of the service pack you want to install. Press Enter.

    For example, to install service pack AV1-0qp, type

    pgkadd -d ./AV1-0qp.ds AV1-0qp

    and press Enter.

    The package installation starts. The system displays various messages. In most cases, you must confirm these message by pressing Enter (to choose the default Yes response).

    Note:
    If you do not confirm the package installation messages, the process will exit and the package will not be installed.

    After a short time, the system displays a message indicating that the installation is complete. You must reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

  6. Type shutdown -y -i6 -g0 and press Enter to reboot your system.
