Installation
The N2 Logic Node software is provided as a Solaris package intended to be deployed on an existing NCC environment.
Package Conventions
Two packages are delivered for the N2 Logic Node:
n2lnSms_v<version number>_<NCC version name>.tar.gz
n2lnScp_v<version number>_<NCC version name>.tar.gzThese packages must be transferred to the appropriate nodes:
- n2lnSms package to each SMS platform
- n2lnScp package to each SLC platform
These instructions assume that the packages are transferred to this directory on each node:
/var/tmpPre-Requisites
