Upgrade the NBA

You can upgrade your existing NBA application package or Napatech driver package on Linux servers.

To upgrade the NBA

Get a new NBA application package or Napatech driver package.
You can get the new distribution packages on a CD/DVD or download them to your existing NBA.

(Napatech driver packages only) Follow these steps:

Unload the Napatech drivers. Run these commands:

nbacontrol stop nba 
cd /opt/napatech3/bin
./ntstop.sh
./ntunload.sh

Unpack the new driver. Run these commands:

cd /home/install/napatech 
tar -xvzf ntinl_package_3gd_linux_5.1.1.tar.gz

Install the new driver. Run these commands:

cd ntinl_package_3gd_linux_5.1.1
./package_install_3gd.sh

Install the package updates using the nba-package-installer script with the following commands at the shell prompt:
```
rm -f /opt/ca/ca-dlp/nba/lock/nba-package-installer.lock
/opt/ca/ca-dlp/nba/sbin/nba-package-installer
```
When prompted to load the Napatech in-line driver CD, type 'n'. At the next prompt, type 'y' to skip the Napatech driver install. You have already completed this task in step 2.
(If installing a package from a CD/DVD) Follow the instructions in the respective 'How to Install the Software' sections.
(If installing a downloaded package) Follow these steps:
1. Reply "n" when the nba-package-installer prompts you to insert a CD or DVD.
2. Reply "y" when you are prompted for a preloaded package.
3. Enter the full path of the directory containing the downloaded package.
  Existing packages are upgraded.
When the upgrade is complete, any existing NBA policy and configuration settings are retained.
Verify the release information for new policy and configuration settings that may be available to add to your files.
