Preparing for Package Installation

You should use several show commands to gather information in preparation for the SMU package installation.
Before You Begin
Determine if a software change is required.
Verify that the new package is supported on your system. Some software packages require that other packages
or package versions be activated, and some packages support only specific line cards.
Review the release notes for important information related to that release and to help determine the package
compatibility with your device configuration.
Verify that the system is stable and prepared for the software changes.
