mount -t nfs ipaddressorfqdn:/system/inst/patch/incoming /mnt
where ipaddressorfqdn is the IP address or the FQDN that was displayed when you ran the system software share open command.
The
/mntlocation can be changed to the required location for mounting the NFS share.The
bom-config.jsonfile is copied to the/mntlocation. - Set the FC-ENABLE key value to 1. Open the
bom-config.jsonusing the vim command:vim bom-config.json
Change the FC-ENABLE key to 1 and save the file. the updated file should look similar to shown below:
