The OA-700 is a modular system. From the hardware side, this means that

different physical parts of the system can be removed, inserted, and upgraded

independent of each other. From the software side, it means that software

modules can be upgraded individually.

Most of the applications running on the system can be upgraded independent of

each other and without system downtime. The exception is the base Linux

operating system and the most basic building blocks in the system which

sometimes require a reload of the specific card or the whole system for a software

upgrade to take effect.

Before upgrading a software module, check the current versions of the modules,

read the release notes to make sure you are aware of any potential conflicts

between different module versions.

Packages are the vehicles for software delivery on the OA-700. There are three

kinds of packages:

1. LoL-<version>.npm

This is the collection of files that installs the operating system components. It

contains the flash image for SC (Switch Card), Services Engine (SE) and

other line cards.

2. ALU-apps.<version>.npm

This is the collection of application modules and is a complete software

release of all features.

3. ALU-part.<version>.npm
