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. Note the two hyphens before the ‘nodeps’ keyword.
    rpm -U --nodeps <rpm file>
    

    This command installs the NBA software, configures it, and starts the application.

    Note: 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. Log on as root administrator to be able to reboot the NBA:
    [ta] CPU-X:/bivio/shared/home/install # su admin
    

    This generates output similar to the following:

    BiviOS Version 3.2.5.9 (Build 200803051300) CLI
    
    *** There are [ 1 ] unacknowledged alarms.
        Use 'show alarm unacknowledged' to display.
    
    Loading ................................
    
  4. Reboot the NBA from your NBA CPU-X root login to complete the installation.
    ta[admin:]> reboot system
    WARNING: This will reboot the system and traffic will be impacted.
    Are you sure you want to do this? (y/n) [n] y 
    

    Note: Do not use the NBA console until after this reboot.
