• "Patching the Network Elements" (page 79)
• "Patching the Audio Codes gateway" (page 82)
Obtaining the patches
Obtain the MCP patches from the Nortel support site (http://support.nor
tel.com/ ) or have them pushed to the site using Nortel’s Regional Patch
Selector (RPS) service. The file containing the System Manager core
upgrade is named according to the load name. For example, the load
name for the archive MCP_11.0.1.0.zip is MCP_11.0.1.0. The System
Manager creates patch load directories under /var/mcp/loads.
Patches can be in V, R, or S status. S status patches are patches that
have been submitted to RPS but have not yet reached V or R status.
Use these procedures to obtain MCP core software load patches manually
or enable the Regional Patch Selector notification.
