MCP core software load Maintenance Release installation

sudo ./mcpCopyFromESD.pl -m manifest-online

Copy the ASU files.

sudo ./mcpCopyFromESD.pl -m manifest-asu-pc

Remove the ISO image file from the file system.

rm /var/mcp/esd_files/

Delete older MCP loads.

Nortel recommends to only keep the current MCP software
load and the load that the system will be upgraded to in the
/var/mcp/loads directory to free up disk space.

cd /var/mcp/loads

rm –Rf

Attention:

Use extreme caution when using rm -Rf commands.

Entering a typo can cause an entire file system to be removed
without confirmation if you have the proper user privileges. For
example, entering a command such as rm -Rf / mcp/loads (with
an extra space after the first forward slash) can remove the
entire directory tree.

Repeat this procedure for the secondary System Manager.
