To install the N1 AA 5.2 Update 2 release, you must have already installed the N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 Update 2 release. If the N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 Update 2 release is not currently running on your system, you must acquire and install the N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 Update 2 release from the Sun Download Center. For more information, see What’s New in the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 Update 2 Release.

This procedure also assumes that you have downloaded the N1 AA 5.2 Update 2 x86 packages file (n1aax86.tar.gz) and the SAP plug-in patch 123849-03. For more information about how to acquire these packages, see How to Acquire the N1 AA 5.2 Update 2 Release.

The x86 based system on which you want to run the N1 AA 5.2 Update 2 release must be running the Solaris 10 OS.
