Install the NBA Software Package

To install the NBA software

  1. Execute the following command from an NBA CPU-X login in the directory where the .rpm is present.
    rpm -U --nodeps <rpm file>
    

    Note the two hyphens before the ‘nodeps’ keyword.

    This will install the NBA software, configure it and start the application.

    This command may fail if there is a previously installed NBA package that does not support upgrade. If so, remove the old package (see the previous section) before repeating this command.

  2. Carefully monitor the output from this installation command.

    You must refer any errors back to CA Technical Support.

  3. Reboot the NBA. To do this, execute the following commands from an NBA CPU-X root login:

    This generates the following output:

    BiviOS Version 3.2.5.9 (Build 200803051300) CLI
