  2. If you are performing any of the following tasks, review the instructions in “Upgrading, reinstalling, or adding components”:

  3. Install operating system patches, if required. Required operating system patches are described in the release bulletin for the product.

  4. Verify that you have enough space to install the software. See “System requirements”.

  5. The installer requires a valid X-Windows configuration. Make sure the xterm command can run at the command prompt where you start the installer.

  6. Close any EAServer applications such as “Jaguar CTS” console server windows, EAServer Manager, and other client applications. If upgrading from EAServer 4.x with systems management installed, stop the systems management Agent Manager by to the am_stop.sh.
