Installing Signalware Service Pack 5T

Installing Service Pack 5T builds on the example of a default Signalware 9 installation earlier in this chapter.

This patch installation example uses the same user (siguser) and user group (users) information and assumes that you have performed the base installation and configuration procedures documented earlier in this chapter.

Installing the Patch Package

To add Service Pack 5T to a Signalware 9 installation:

Log in as root.
If you have not done so already, download and unpack the Signalware 9 Service Pack 5T file (SIGNALWARE_9_SP5.T_SOLARIS10_UPGRADE.TGZ).
Copy the Signalware Service Pack 5T package file from its location in your download directory or from a Signalware CD to a temporary working directory (/tmp/omni/5T is used in the example below).
If Signalware is running, shut it down.
Start the Signalware installation.

Execute:
swsetup

The script prompts for a user identifier.

Enter the unique user that you created in the initial installation: siguser.

The Main Menu screen is displayed.

Welcome. This menu gives you options for different Ulticom (R) products. Select

a product to get started.
