Always download the most recent patch. Patches are
cumulative, that is, each new patch contains all of the updates
from the previous patches.
Confirm the name of the downloaded patch file is the same as
the patch name in the Release Notes.
File names might be modified during download when using
certain Internet browsers. If there is a difference, rename the
downloaded file to the patch name stated in the Release Notes.
Using the nortelrps password, transfer the downloaded file to the
server hosting the active System Manager using Secure FTP
(SFTP).
Transfer the file to the following directory:
/var/mcp/dropbox

$ sftp nortelrps@<SysMgr_IP>
