Obtain and Install Software Patches 
Introduction 
The procedures in this section offer guidance in obtaining, extracting, and installing 
the software patches described in this document. All five patches are contained in 
one compressed file. When you uncompress the file, later in this section, the system 
creates five directories, each of which contains the executable file for the patch, in 
addition to installation instructions. 
 
Obtaining the Software Patches 
Follow these general instructions to obtain the compressed file that contains the 
software patches described in this document. 
1  On the DNCS, create a directory called download in the /export/home/dncs 
directory structure (/export/home/dncs/download). 
2  Log on to Cisco Services's FTP server. 
Notes: 
 
The address of the server is ftp.sciatl.com.  
 
The username is anonymous
 
The password is the email address of the person logging in. 
3  Choose one of the following options to navigate to the directory in which the 
patches are located: 
 
If you are outside of Cisco Services's firewall, navigate to the following 
directory:  /pub/scicare/RELEASED/SR4.0_SP1_Patches 
 
If you are inside of Cisco Services's firewall, navigate to the following 
directory:  /external_pub/scicare/RELEASED/SR4.0_SP1_Patches 
4  Download the 4.0.0.27Emer_Patches.tar.gz file into the 
/export/home/dncs/download directory of the DNCS. 
Important!  Be certain that you download this file into the 
/export/home/dncs/download directory of the DNCS. 
Note:  This is a compressed file. All of the patches will extract from this file.
