Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 7 upgrade

Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 7 upgrade

Post by erichead.. » Fri, 09 Mar 2001 03:20:24



I have an Enterprise 2 server that I am thinking of upgrading from Solaris
2.5.1 to Solaris 7.  I am planning to dump / /usr /opt /var to tape and then
do the upgrade.  Does anyone know of any known problems with this upgrade or
should it go smoothly ?

The first thing to do is make sure all of your software is happy in
64bit mode. I ran into this problem myself assuming(bad I know) that
everything we had would work on 2.7. It doesn't. If you do your own
DNS then you also have to change the named config as 2.7 has a much
newer version of BIND.

1. Solaris 10 (build 63) upgrade fails on Solaris 8 as well as Solaris 9 sparcs

Hello
         Using the Solaris 10 build 63 for sparc.

Tried to do upgrades on the following two machines.

1. E4500  Solaris 8 (117350-11 Kernel level)
    Entire Distribution OEM support cluster, OBP 3.2.30.

2. Ultra 2  Solaris 9 Entire Distribution and OEM support cluster.

On both machines the upgrade starts when I put the CD 1 and and reaches to
the point where I have to select whether I want to do "Initial Install" or
"Upgrade".

When I check upgrade it starts initializing the system and halfway through I
get the follwoing error

"Could not reinitialize the system state".

At which point I have no option but to click OK on the error and exit out of
the install process.

Has anyone seen this can anyone provide any tips or pointers.?????

Thanks
Sandeep
