Solaris 7 system upgrade from Sun 60?

We need to replace a Sun 60 on a large system and want to upgrade to a faster machine but we MUST stay with Solaris 7. We started looking at the 1000, 1500 and 2500 but they seem not to support Solaris 7. Can anyone tell me the fastest workstation that supports Solaris 7.

You will likely be limited to the Ultra-80 / E420R / Netra 1405 series of systems.
They all use the same systemboard and can have as many as four 450MHz US-II processors.
You can install as much as 4GB of RAM to them as well.
The U80/E420R/N1405 systems were all discontinued in 2002.
They will therefore be rather inexpensive to buy as used machines from web sites such as Ebay.
All newer models will need a newer version of Solaris.
Solaris 7 just wouldn't know how to make the newer hardware function.
It was disontinued in 2003.

BI 7.0: Source System upgrade from R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0

Background:
I am relatively new to BW team and will be going through my 1st source system upgrade.
We currently have BI 7.0 SPS 17 connected to source system R/3 Enterprise EP1.
We are upgrading to the source system to ECC 6.0.
In Development and QA Environments:
we will have access to both old (R/3 Enterpirse) and the new (ECC 6.0) source systems.
We have a opportunity to compare the BW Objects, data flow and data loading from
both source systems.
In Production, however, we will just upgrade over 3 days downtime.
One Question that comes to mind in this regard...
What sort of things, we should be checking for before and after upgrade in Dev/QA and in Prod environments and what tools are available that can help the analysis and validation process ?
Some of the suggestions that were given to me include following points.
Before Upgrade:
1 Check data, taking pre images of it for testing with post upgrade.
2. Perform proper analysis of Source system related BW objects.
- A complete listing of actively used Datasources,.. etc.
3. Make delta queues empty,
Make sure that all existing deltas are loaded into BW.The last request delta must not deliver any data and must be green in the monitor.
4. Stop Process chains from BI (remove from schedule) and collection runs from R/3 side
After Upgrade:
1 After the OLTP upgrade, refer to note 458305 and other notes that are relevant to the actual upgrade
(depending on the R/3 system release / R/3 plug-in to BI plug-in compatibility).
2. Check logical system connections. Transactions SMQS, RSMO and SM59, If no access, then we can use Program RSRFCPIN_NEW for RFC Test.
3. Check and/or Activate control parameters for data transfer. SBIW ---> General Settings --->
Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/51/85d6cf842825469a51b9a666442339/frameset.htm
4. Check for Changes to extract structures in LBWE Customizing Cockpit
- OSS Notes 328181, 396647, 380078 and 762951
5. Check if all the required transfer structures are active. See OSS Note 324520 for mass activation.
7. Check if all Source system related BW Objects are active - Transfer rules, Communication rules, update rules,DTPs,..etc.
Below is a link for some useful programs in this regard.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/pages/viewpage.action&pageid=35458
6. Test all important datasources using RSA3 and check for OLTP Datasources changes .
As soon as BW notices that the time stamp at the DataSource in the OLTP is newer than the one in the transfer structure, it requests replication of the DataSource and activation of the transfer structure. Transfer the relevant DataSources only if required, and transfer only the ones that have changed (RSA5 -> Delta).
7. Create Data flow objects (trnasfer rules, infopackages, trnasformations, DTPs) for the Replicate
new/changed datasources,if needed.
8. Check all CMOD enhancements.
If we are using a customer exit with the extractor in the OLTP, see Note 393492.
7. Check for unicode (all custom programs or Function Modules for DataSources)
5. Check all the queues in RSA7, start delta runs and test data consistency.
For delta problems:In the BW system, start the 'RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE' program for the DataSource and the source (OLTP) system for which the init selections are then transferred from BW into the ROOSPRMSC and ROOSPRMSF tables in the source system so that the delta can continue.
9. Take back up of data posted during upgrade for contingency planing.
10. Run the entire set of process chains once if possible and let it pick up no data or the usual master data.
Since we have lot of experts in this forum, who have probably gone through such scenario many times, i wanted to request you to Please Please advise if i have stated anything incorrectly or if i am missing additional steps, OSS Notes, important details...

Thanks Rav for your detailed post and very helpful contribution by posting all the information you had regarding the upgrade.
We have similar scenario -
We are upgrading our source system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have our BI system with BI 7.0 at support pack 19 (SAPKW70019).
Our strategy in ECC deployment ->
In development we copied our old DEV 4.7 system DXX to new ECC system DXY (new system ID).
In production we are going to use same system PRXX upgraded from 4.7 to ECC.
Now we are in testing phase of ECC with all interfaces like BI in Dev.
My questions are below ->
How can we change/transfer mapping of all our datasources in Dev BW system BID to new ECC dev system DXY (Eg. Logical system LOGDXY0040) from Old dev system DXX (Eg. Logical system LOGDXX0040). We donot want to create new datasources or change all transfer rules/Infosources for old BW3.x solutions on our BI.
Also in new ECC sourcesystem copy we see all datasources in Red in RSA7 transaction. Do we need to initialize again all the datasources from our BW BID system.
Is there any easy way for above scenario ?
Please let me know if you have any further helpful information during your ECC 6.0 upgrade connecting to BI 7.0 system.
I have found some other links which have some pieces of information regarding the topic -
Upgrade R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 already in BI 7.0

Solaris 10 upgrade from 9 - Upgrade option not presented

I have moved the system disk from a v880 to a v480 and successfully booted.
I've successfully tested the upgrade using pfinstall.
/usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D /tmp/profile
I had the following text in /tmp/profile
install_type upgrade
root_device /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
This finished with:
Test run complete. Exit status 0.
I had to mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 to /a before running pfinstall otherwise the program would fail with Exit status 2.
Original slice layout is:
# df -h | grep c1t0
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 9.8G 4.2G 5.6G 43% /
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 9.8G 3.7G 6.1G 38% /usr
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 9.8G 3.9G 5.9G 40% /var
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5 9.8G 1.8G 8.0G 19% /opt
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 20G 2.0G 18G 11% /export/home
Because of http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4041/6nfhjnlao?l=Ja&a=view
I moved var from slice 3 to / on slice 0
I also removed "swap" entries in vfstab, and even removed the second disk in the system (which didn't have an OS)
ok> boot cdrom - nowin
this results with no upgrade option presented
Can someone tell me what I can do? I don't have experience with Jumpstart or Live upgrade
Thanks

Hi,
Yes and no.
11gR1 and 11gR2 are fully supported (premier support). 10gR1 and 10gR2 are in extended support. About 9.2 it's a bit more complicated and the general extended support ended : check note 161818.1 for further details.
After the extended support there is still the sustaining support.
Read that to understand the notions :

Solaris 10 upgrade from U3 to U8

Hi Gurus,
I need to upgrade solaris 10 from U3 to U8, we tried a unsuccessful failure
after creating a boot environment when we tried to upgrade from DVD 10/09
with command
luupgrade -u BE -s /cdrom
it complaint about a one file in some path (not sure the exact file name)
/cdrom/SOLARIS_10/TOOLS/BOOT/PLATFORM/SUN4U
has anyone see this error before and
when we tried to upgrade from DVD directly with command
ok>boot cdrom -upgrade
it never asked me if i want to upgrade and do a fresh installation it just installed fresh OS.
any help is much apprecited.
BR,
Kapil+

With latest version of live upgrade you need to add -k <sysidcfg file> to upgrade line. The following is the
luupgrade command line that I most recently used
luupgrade -u -n <ABE name> -k /root/sysidcfg -s /cdrom/cdrom0
I have attached file that explains entries in sysidcfg.
Below is the sysidcfg file that I created for this servers.
root@xxxx # cat sysidcfg
name_service=DNS
domain_name=xx.xx.xx
name_server=xx.xx.xx.xx
network_interface=ge0 { hostname=xxx
ip_address=xx.xx.xx.xx
netmask=255.255.255.0
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=xx.xx.xx.xx}
keyboard=US-English
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Central
terminal=sun-cmd
system_locale=C
Make sure that you get on the console when you reboot to the new OS. I always get some dumb question, such as "What is the terminal type?", when I upgrade the os.
You probably want to do an ls /cdrom (or whatever) and you should get something similiar to the following:
$ ls

Couldn't upgrade Solaris 10 x86 from Sun Fire x2200 to Dell Precision Wrkst

Dear Solaris Experts,
I need to clone a Solaris 10 x86 system using a ufsdump backup from the following source & target servers:
Sun Fire x2200 M2 with Quad Core Processor
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X2200 M2 with Quad Core Processr
BIOS Configuration: Sun Microsystems S39_3D12 10/06/2008
# uname -a
SunOS old 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
to
Dell Precision WorkStation 390
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
System Configuration: Dell Inc. Precision Workstation 390
BIOS Configuration: Dell Inc. 2.3.0 05/01/2007
# uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
Unfortunately, Solaris kept rebooting (failed to boot) from the restored primary disk (both / & /export/home) even though Grub menu appeared. As a result, I have embarked on the path of upgrading path using the same Solaris 10 Installation Disk (5/09) DVD but failed due to not able to mount / (c0t0d0s0), swap and /export/home (c0t0d0s7).
The source Sun Fire x2200 had two mirrored disks but I am restoring the backups to a single harddisk. Any idea on what step has been missed or that it is not possible to go down this path altogether.
I have tried a number of different reinstallations & restores but have not had much luck still.
Many thanks,
Jack

Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Patch on Solaris 8 as upgrade from Sun One

We have an application that we are moving from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10, but the process for doing this is slow due to the complex nature of the architecture (Perl, J2EE on JRun, WLS, etc). This means that the application will have some instances on Solaris 8 and some on Solaris 10 for the next few months. We wish to try to bring the non-OS infrastructure up to the same versions of code to assist in this.
Now, I noticed in the release notes that Solaris 8 is no longer supported in 7.0.9 but was in 7.0.8. Is there anything inherent in this or was it just that no testing was done? I know that the official position of the "web tier" is that Solaris 8 is now "deprecated". I ask because it tells me if I can live with the risk of going to 7.0.9 on all environments - as the application code is more aware of this than its core OS - or whether I need to leave 7.0.8 on Solaris 8 and do 7.0.9 on Solaris 10. I'm not asking for support, but a question on whether there is a known issue or not.
regards
Colin

Thank you. I'll keep the Solaris 8 boxes on v7.0.8 then.
My main worry was not the code itself but the changes in installation, packaging, branding changes, default directories (e.g. /opt/oracle rather than /opt/sun), etc...... . If I am going to kill off Solaris 8 in a few months it isn't a big problem.

Solaris Installation question (from sun course)

Hello, I am just learning about solaris from the course WS-2001-S10. I hope this kind of question is fit for this forum...otherwise please direct me to where I can ask about it.
There is a review question at the end of the installation module like this:
Which Solaris 10 OS installation methods are available to perform a standard upgrade?
     Solaris suninstall and Custom Jumpstart
     [x]Solaris suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart
     Solaris Web Start and Custom Jumpstart
Feedback:
     Correct.
The correct answer is 2 but i don't really get it why. In the course they say nothing about Web Start and from what i have read Web Start is just a Web-Based Jump Start installation.
In the course SUN says that "The methods available for a standard upgrade are Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure. "
So "suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart" from the answer equals "Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure" from course...
Also from what I understood the jumpstart installation is also CLI ...(totally confused now)
Can someone shed some light on this please?

PI system upgrade from 7.1 to 7.4 dual stack

Hi,
We want to upgrade PI system to 7.4 .currently we are using PI 7.1 system (dual stack)and want to go for 7.4 dual stack.
which one single stack or dual stack is the best approach and what are the impacts normally see when upgrading to newer version.
We are planning to install 7.4 freshly recomonded by SAP .
We need to migrate objects from older system to newer system?
I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
Import/export or migrate is the best way to move objects from older sytem to newer system.
Please suggest me any links about the process including basis point of view also suggestions for the approach.
thanks,
aman

>>>> which one single stack or dual stack is the best approach and what are the impacts normally see when upgrading to newer version.
I would prefer single stack considering the SAP's future road map but of course it depends on how much effort your company is ready to spend. Incase you have lot of CCBPM's then you'll have to redesign them using Netweaver BPM if you go with single stack.
As are going with fresh installation(migration) of dual stack then you don't need to invest much.
>>> We are planning to install 7.4 freshly recomonded by SAP .
We need to migrate objects from older system to newer system?
I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
There is wizard using which you can move the directory objects ( classical scenario's to Integrated configurations). Please use it for ID objects
Refer to the below blog for more details. (ignore blog's title. it's applicable for dual stack-> dual stack too)
Moving Integration Directory Artifacts from dual stack to single stack
For ESR you can simply export and import the tpz file.
>>> I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
They can simply follow the installation guide and execute the post installation steps properly.

Solaris 10, upgrading from update 7 to update 9, not enough space?

This is a VM that was created some time ago. The VM was created with a 5.0G / slice and a 15.0G /scratch slice (I'm not sure why). This is solaris 10, x86, update 7. It's got 1.5G free space. When I boot off the Update 9 ISO image and go to do an "upgrade" installation, it complains that the minimum suggested amount is 5049840 Kbyte size blocks, while my disk has only 4939988 Kbyte size blocks. It's strange because the OS is already installed and running fine, with 1.5 G free space. Is there any way for me to get around this check? It's also asking me for a backup device which, since I don't care to back up anything, is a bummer.
I'm having so many problems with this VM. I just need to upgrade it. I've tried installing the patch bundle, but patching hangs on this VM for some reason. Then I've tried to just upgrade the OS and it seems to be 1 road-block after the next. I'm not sure why this is all so difficult. I'd appreciate any info on this installation issue if possible. Thanks for reading.

New Build with Operating System upgrade from ME to XP

I am going to inbark on my first system build. THe MSI K8N Neo4 Platinium is highly recommended. I am not going to do a complete rebuild. I am just going to keep my newest hardward from my old system. My old processer a P3 933mhz along with moboard is at the core of my upgrade. I noticed on the K8N page that the board does not support ME. My old system (Gateway) shipped with ME for which I purchased the XP upgrade. I understand that the XP upgrade disk has the full operating system on it and all I have to do is put the ME disk in when the XP disk asks for previous operating system. Will this board be able to recognize the ME disk so that it will pass muster with the XP upgrade disk?

Quote from: Edddd on 02-July-05, 21:15:37
Thank you both for the prompt reply, what are your thoughts about the K8N Neo4 Platinium mobo? Is it as good as Tom's Hardware says it is? I am planning on intalling an AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego on it. I am not a real power gamer. I just want something that will antincipate the future. My current rig, P3 933mhz has lasted me for 5 years. Thanks
The MSI K8N NEO 4 Platinum is a very stable board, has a good range of features, is highly overclockable and is just great. I think mine is great so far and I suggest you buy a decent power supply with 22A - 24A minimum on the +12V rail to make sure it lasts and worls 100% correctly.
If you need any more help just ask!

Clone the Solaris OS from Sun Fire X4200 M2 to Sun Fire X4100 M2

Dear all,
May anyone help me?
I want to clone the all slices (whole hard disk) in Solaris 10 OS from Sun Fire X4200 M2 Server and then restore it back to Sun Fire X4100 M2 Server. Is it possible to do this? If "Yes", may show me how to do it?
I appreciate for your help.
Thanks you in advance,
Soret,

Hi.
It's possible, but depend of used file systems, used or not voluem manager, hardware configuration.
Possible steps:
1) Make Backup x4200 ( on internal disk or third NFS storage )
2) Boot x4100 from installation DVD in to Single user.
2.1 Partitioning disk
2.2 Create New FS
2.3 Restore backup on new FS. ( need configuree network, and mount disks with backups over NFS )
2.4 use devfsadm for rebuild device tree
chroot <new_root> devfsadm
2.5 Make neaded customization on new system.
2.6 Install grub and bootblok ( installboot )
2.7 Umount all new FS; halt system.
3) Try normal boot new system.
Some step for create new disk you may do on original server. Install new disk and make restore on it.
After- return this disk to x4100.
Regards.

Related to Upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11 version

Hi Experts,
I need to upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11.1.1.3/11.1.2.1.
I know recommeded to install on new servers;
1) What if client ask to upgrade (no new server) on existing one.
2) How to handle if we have already Tomca Appache (app server) on 9.3.1 and now 11 doesn't support.
what points to keep in mind with these two challenges to reduce some complexity.
Regards
Kumar

I think your question is not one that can always be answered quickly on a forum but it is worth you having a read of the following on Oracle support - "Upgrade Advisor: Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1 [ID 324.1]"
Yes it is 11.11.3 to 11.1.2.1 but it goes through all the different stages from evaluation to acceptance, the information provided is relevant to other versions.
It is possible to upgrade from on the same server, tomcat is no longer supported so the web app server used will be weblogic.
There is also details in the documentation about upgrading - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?ch05.html

Upgrade from Solaris 8 SPARC with Sun cluster 3.1u3 to Solaris 10 SPARC

Dear All,
We are planning an upgrade of the OS from Solaris 8 SPARC to Solaris 10 SPARC on a two-node active-standby clustered system.
The current major software we have on the Solaris 8 system are:
1: Sun Cluster 3.1u3
2: Oracle 9i 9.2.0.8
3: Veritas File System Vxfs v4.0
4: Sun Solaris 8 2/04 SPARC
Any pointers as to what sequence and how the upgrade should be done?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ray

yes I know it can be quite complicated and complex, but Sun provided us with a detailed documentation, at least in our case Solaris 9 to 10 it was very helpful.
