Before installing the software from CD-ROM, make sure that:

■

Your network management station is running Solaris 2.4 or 2.5x, SunOS 4.1.4, 
HP-UX 9.0.5, 10.10 or 10.20, or IBM AIX 3.2.5, 4.1.4 or 4.2. To verify the 
operating system environment, enter:

The version message refers to Solaris 2.5x as SunOS 5.5. 

■

You know the root password.

■

The network management station has sufficient disk space for the amount of 
software you are installing. Minimal disk storage requirements are dependent 
on the number of NETBuilder systems being installed. Allocate 40 MB for the 
NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities and software image, 4 MB for each 
NETBuilder II system.

■

The NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities released with this software 
package have been installed on the network management station. Refer to 
Upgrading NETBuilder Family Software for more information.
