1. Gather the superuser passwords for both SCs.
2. Be sure you have platadmn privileges to both SCs.
3. On both SCs, determine the directory into which you will download the SMS
software from the web.
4. Ensure that the SC data is synchronized between the two SCs by typing this
command on the main SC.

root@tatatel12-25k-sc0-eri0 # /opt/SUNWsms/bin/setdatasync backup

5. Ensure that both SC clocks are phase-locked. You can do this by looking at the
most recent messages in the platform logs, which say whether the SC clocks are
locked or not.
