during the upgrade process.

MCP core software load Maintenance Release installation 89
sudo ./mcpCopyFromESD.pl -m manifest-online
Copy the ASU files.
sudo ./mcpCopyFromESD.pl -m manifest-asu-pc
Remove the ISO image file from the file system.
rm /var/mcp/esd_files/<filename>
Delete older MCP loads.
Nortel recommends to only keep the current MCP software
load and the load that the system will be upgraded to in the
/var/mcp/loads directory to free up disk space.
cd /var/mcp/loads
rm –Rf <old_load_directory>
Attention: Use extreme caution when using rm -Rf commands.
Entering a typo can cause an entire file system to be removed
without confirmation if you have the proper user privileges. For
example, entering a command such as rm -Rf / mcp/loads (with
an extra space after the first forward slash) can remove the
entire directory tree.
Repeat this procedure for the secondary System Manager.
The new MR load.zip file is in the /var/mcp/loads directory.
Action
Log on to the primary System Manager as the AA role
(ntappadm) using SSH.
Change directory:
cd /var/mcp/install
Run the Maintenance Release upgrade script:
