Upgrade Nortel Linux base
This chapter documents the process of upgrading Nortel Linux base.
Prerequisites to upgrade Nortel Linux base
Before you perform the upgrade you must gather the following information:
• ELAN IP address
• ELAN gateway IP address
•
ELAN netmask
• The host name associated with the TLAN
• The domain name
Note: A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) consists of a host
name and a domain name, and includes a top-level domain name.
Using kwei.ca.nortel.com as an example, kwei is the host name,
ca.nortel.com is the domain name, and .com is the top-level domain
name. The FQDN must contain at least three fields.
• TLAN IP address
•
TLAN gateway IP address
•
TLAN netmask
• Time zone
• IP address of Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
•
IP address of the Primary Domain Name Service (DNS) server
•
Default system gateway associated with the network interface (ELAN
or TLAN)
Note 1: The choice of ELAN or TLAN as the default gateway NIC
can be influenced by the applications that you are going to deploy
on the server and by network topology.
Figure 114 "HP DL320 G4
rear view" (page 125) shows the ELAN and TLAN network interfaces
for the HP DL320 G4 server. It shows the ELAN and TLAN network
