How to update a server from Solaris 10 MU6 to Solaris 10 MU8

Hi guys,
I've a problem here that it should be easy to solve for some GURU experts like you :-)
I've a server with Solaris 10 10/08 (Update 6) and I need to go to Solaris 10 10/09 (Update 8).
Looking at Release note and other relevant Sun documentation doesn't provide a clear method to upgrade from MU6 to MU8.
Three things are important here:
1) I need to preserve data and applications, so this MUST BE an upgrade, not a FRESH INSTALL
2) we don't have a CD/DVD in the server.
3) we have LDOMs installed on this server (the Guest Domain and the Logical Domains need to be patched).
Can anybody tell me if this is possible and if there is any good document describing it?
P.S. - unless the solution provided into the article "http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/solaris_10_10_08_patch" is the only one, I would prefer an update and not a patch.
Thanks in advance
Sergio

My guess is that you have already completed this upgrade, but in the event that you haven't I recommend that you use NFS to either mount a DVD from another server or else copy the OS DVD to a local drive on a server that has a DVD drive and then NFS mount the file system on the server you are trying to upgrade. I use NFS fairly often for upgrades and for patching. I have one server that has a file system that contains the source code from the installation DVD and another file system that contains the most current patch cluster.

  • How to install owb server-side software on UNIX Solaris (SPACR-64)?

    Hi there,
    How to install owb server-side software on UNIX Solaris (SPACR-64)?
    I've read the install guide
    and it mentions
    3. Start the installer by entering the following at the prompt:
    cd mount_point
    ./runInstaller
    I don't have access to any graphical interface on the UNIX box e.g. x-windows nor any cd with the software, just the solaris software downloaded from web - does this include the runinstaller
    and is the runisnatller just a command line interface?
    I hoped I would be able to download the software from oracle website and then simply run the a setup scrip?
    Is it possible to do this? Would I simply substitute cd mount_point to cd <directory I put software)
    I've never ran oracle universall installer on UNIX before.
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    You can install the server-side software from the downloaded software.
    You don't need the CD
    You do need an X-windows client on your computer to connect to the server OR work directly on the server.
    Without X-windows you cannot start the Oracle Universal Installer.
    Maybe there is a command line installation, I have never used this.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to update duplicate row from table

    Hi,
    how to update duplicate row from table?
    First to find duplicate row then update duplicate row with no to that duplicate row in oracle.
    can you give me suggestion on it?
    Thanks in advance.
    your early response is appreciated...

    In order to find a duplicate row, see:
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1224636375004
    (or search this forum, your question has been asked before)
    In order to update it, just create and use an Oracle sequence, have it start and increment at a value that doesn't exist in your table.
    If that doesn't get you going, post some CREATE TABLE + INSERT INTO statements, and the results you want from them, in other words: a complete testcase.

    how to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5? Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How to update info cube from PSA

    Hi,
    how to update Info cube from PSA.
    Coz we have changed the update rule for one characteristic.What is the implication of updating it from the PSA.
    Regards,
    Viren.

    Hi,
    Now there is one more problem in update rule.
    We are using " 2LIS_03_BF " as datasource.which doesn't contain Sales organization,Division or Distribution channel.
    So in transfer rule for the infosource "2AF_MM_INV_1" we can not update the salesorg,division and Distribution channel.In communication structure all these objects are assigned to respective info objects.
    Now in Update rule we have kept Division and Sales organization as initial.Still we are getting correct data for the Division and not a single record contains Sales organisation and for distribution channel we are using update routine..
    SELECT SINGLE DISTR_CHAN INTO DISTR_CHAN
    FROM /BI0/MCUST_SALES WHERE DIVISION = COMM_STRUCTURE-DIVISION
    AND SALESORG = COMM_STRUCTURE-SALESORG
    AND CUST_SALES = COMM_STRUCTURE-CUST_SALES.
    Now my problem is this update rule fatches record on the basis of cust_sales only as comm_structure doesn't contain any thing for division and sales org.So how to get value for sales org and Division in Communication structure.
    Summary, I want to get data for Distribution channel and sales org in my cube.
    Pls help me out...
    This is very urgent..

  • How to UPDATE ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, build 207095 using SSH or VSphere CLI remotely!

    Hello Guys,
    Over the past few hours I have been posting related questions and I have gotten a little closer to updating my server/host.
    I have gone to the ESX Server 3i updates (Embedded and Installer) and I have noticed that the first build for ESX 3i is 207095. Which means that I have not done any updates since the installation. CORRECT!
    Now... I have been using "ESX Server 3 Patch Management guide, which instructs us to use esxupdate, but it appears that some of the command in that document is not supported on my host.
    This post: vihostupdate35 | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs ..... Tells me that I will have to use "vihostupdate35" from a remote CLI which I installed but cannot see how to connect to the server as I cannot find any document that shows the syntax etc.
    At this point I am confused and frustrated and just need a little more guidance from someone who could point me to a document or copy and past the procedures I need to use to get this update done.
    I have downloaded this file to do the UPDATE: "ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip" and I have extracted it on the host on a Datastore and copied it to my "/Tmp/ESXi350" folder.
    I have also extracted it there as well just in case I need to browse to the extracted folder, and run any command.
    Can anyone out there help me with the correct SYNTAX and METHOD to get this update installed?
    I can connect with SSH from a windows machine using puTTy.exe as well as I have VSphere CLI installed on another Windows PC and can browse to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin" folder to run "vihostupdate35.pl" I can see it in the folder with a "dir" command:

  • How to update other infotype from source infotype via function module?

    Want in source infotype to call a func.module, which shall update other infotype(s) in background.
    Have tried out with HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION, but without success - gives mitchmatch of source it and target it in the internal it buffer tables.
    How to do?
    Requirements also are to secure rollback, if update of the last of ex. 3 target its fails.
    Anyone has experience on this issue?
    Regards Søren

    Know this functionality - also by means of own coding in the PAI by filling the int. tables dynmeas + initial_values. However the issue remains, i.e. the update has to be done by a function module called from PAI of own infotype, and from a function module you can't trigger the T588Z-functionality.
    The update of it0003 from own it9300 is only an example, have general requirements that:
    - from own infotype PAI a function module shall be called
    - from the function module update of other infotypes 
      shall take place (modify as well as insert and delete)
    - if more infotypes shall be updated from source infotype,
      rollback shall take place if ex. update of last target
      infotype fails (all to be updated or none!).

  • How to update recovery partition from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3

    I recently update my MBP from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3.  I also use BootCamp to Windows 7.  When starting the MBP with holding alt/option button, it says that the recovery partition is still in 10.8.2.  How can I update the recovery to 10.8.3?
    Thanks in advance.

    kokeropie wrote:
    Being new to Mac OS, I thought that the Recovery partition should the same with the OS installed.  So when I want to recover my MBP, I can recover to the latest OS installed on the MBP.
    Anyway, what the function of the recovery partition? I know that I can restore my current setup and data using time machine.  Or the time machine rely on recovery partition to restore the data?
    When using the Recovery partition to Reinstall OS X (for your new Mac), you will get the version of OS X that shipped with your Mac (unless Apple updates that version on their servers). So, for example, let's say your Mac shipped with 10.8.2 (Recovery partiton also that version) and you update OS X to 10.8.3 from Software Updates. When you restart into the Recovery partition using the Command+R keys and you want to Reinstall OS X, you will get what ever version is out there for your Mac model which might be 10.8.2. This means after the install completes you would need to run Software Update to update it back to 10.8.3. So, the version of the Recovery partition has no bearing on what version of OS X will download. Lion (10.7.x) was the same way until version 10.7.2. When updating Lion 10.7 or 10.7.1 to 10.7.2, there was also an update for the Recovery partition. To my knowledge there haven't been any Mountain Lion updates like that. The full installer will always write a Recovery partition and the version number will be the same as the OS X version. However, Software Update will not update the Recovery partition.
    The functions of the Recovery partition are many. When you boot into it you see the OS X Utilities menu. From there you can Reinstall OS X, use Disk Utility to manage your drives, Restore from a Time Machine backup, use Terminal (from the Utilities menu bar option) to do command line commands, change your Startup Disk and other functions.

  • How to update download SyncBO from Client

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on MAM3.0 application. I have a requirement that I need to update one field from TOP structure of MAM30_041 and I don't want this field updated in the backend. This complete requirement for the front-end client purpose only.
    I know that MAM30_041 (Measurement Point SyncBO) is the Download SyncBO, and from-front (MI Client) we can't do any modifications.
    Can any body please suggest me any solution for this, or any alternate solution. I just want to set some status to the Measurement Point.
    Your help is highly appreciable.
    Regards,
    Murthy.

    Hi,
    you can enhance the BO with an update handler. This should allow you to enter information in ITEM020 of the BO. In the Backend the coding for the updte handler does pretty much nothing. In that case the information can be stored on the client but will not be safed in the backend.
    If you have no idea how to enhance the BO - have a look into the enhancement guides of xMAM. You can find them in the INSTGUIDES folder for xMAM. There is a complete explanation how to enhance a BO.
    Hope this information helps.

  • DTR API, how to access DTR server from own program?

    Hello Expert,
    we have a requirement to download some source code from the DTR server using our own program (not the SAP standard DTR Client integrated in NWDS). My question is: does SAP provide some kind of API for accessing DTR server?
    I know there is a command line DTR client, but what we need is to send the command to DTR server from our own program to download some source code, after download our program will  then process the source code.
    Anyone has idea how that would work? The best is that SAP provides API to access DTR server. Not sure if we can call the command line DTR client from our program (technical should be fine, but this is not the best way).
    Appreciate any input.
    Thanks
    Jayson

    Hi Jayson,
    If your program language of your own program supports opening files with an URL name and saving those files locally, you can use the WebDAV protocol to access the DTR.
    But beware of developing your own DTR client implementation: all the handling of activities - propagation lists - inactive/active workspaces - (blob) metadata - versions - integrations of activities, etc. sounds to me very tricky.
    If your programming language of your own program supports executing OS-commands, try executing the DTR tool located in the tools directory of NWDS. It supports executing a list of DTR commands listed in a script file. Perhaps this satifies your needs.
    Hope this helps your decision making.
    Regards,
    Alain.
