Service Pack CDs include service pack software, as well as a DST patch that needs to
be installed on the DNCS and the Application Server.
To save time, Cisco recommends that you install the service pack and DST software
on the DNCS and Application Server in parallel. When the software begins to install
on the DNCS, you can go to Install DST Patches on the Application Server (on page

the software on the DNCS, you minimize the length of time that the system
components are down.
