: I have this dilemma: upgrade from 2.5.1 and 4.0 to 2.6 and 4.1 or NOT.
: And how to upgrade smoothly? Any steps by steps procedures to help?
: Well, it's so risky to upgrade the file server. :)
: Thanks.
: BTW, thanks for all replying the answer of where the DiskSuite is.
: What a funny place (Intranet Extensions) to store it.
Load the DiskSuite user and administrator answerbooks also
to your system from the CD if you didn't do those earlier.
Read carefully the the chapter/Appendix :
"Upgrading_to_Other_Solaris_Versions"
and follow the step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade
OS and then the disksuite etc.
Be sure to backup all your data before doing anything .
Hope it helps,
