Installing Enterprise Routing Module Databases

  1. Insert the database DVD or download the database from www.g1.com/support.
    Note: If you download the database from the technical support web site, it will be downloaded as a zip file. Unzip the database before proceeding with the installation.
  2. If you are installing from DVD and your system auto-mounts, skip this step. If you system does not auto-mount, issue the appropriate mount command to indicate that the DVD device is a file system.
  3. If necessary, issue the /etc/filesystem command to update your system so that it recognizes this file system. Specify the correct device name for the DVD device on your system.
    Note: Your system must allow DVDs created under the ISO 9660 format to be mounted as a file system.
  4. Routing database is now available in the SPD format. Please refer to the Installation Guide located inside the zipped file that is shipped with the database.
  5. After you install the database files, use the Database Resource tool in the Management Console to define the database as a resource. For more information, see the "Configuring Database Resources" chapter of the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Administration Guide on support.pb.com.
