Netra and COTS

You must provision Netra (and COTS) hardware before installing software. This
includes platform-specific configuration, such as BIOS, and platform management
access. Once a version of the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller is
running on a Netra or COTS platform, you simply install new software using the
instructions provided in the Boot Management and Software Upgrade chapters herein.
