Hi,

Please suggest.
Thanks

Error attempting to apply a Solaris 10 release (upgrade)

I am trying to apply a Solaris 10 upgrade release to my E450 server, but get the following error:
"Could not reinitialize system state, please exit installer and try again"
The current release on the server is 10 1/06 and I am trying to move this to 10 6/06.
Anyone got any idea what it is complaining about, the process worked OK on my V480 servers!.

For anyone that gets the same issue, I found the problem to be my vfstab file.
I deleted all filesystems from it apart from the system areas / /usr /var and swap and the install process worked.
Cannot see anything wrong with the entries that were in the vfstab file, so I guess it is some kind of bug in the upgrade program.

Error Message: "This upgrade path is not supported"

Scenario
During the process of upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview, we may encounter the error “This upgrade path is not supported. Please close Setup and re-launch from the root of the media or go back and pick a different installation
choice.” in the Compatibility report.
Analysis
Step 1: Perform the scenario 1: the upgrade installation fails.
Reproduce this error following the steps below:
Download the Windows 10 Technical Preview ISO installation file.
Extract the ISO installation file to C:\New folder, and now the location of the installation file is
C:\New folder\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\.
Click setup.exe from the installation file, and then click
Install now.
Setup is starting, and then get two options Upgrade and
Custom which is the classic setup wizard which we can see during booting from DVD.
Click Upgrade to run upgrade installation, however, the error occurs.
It seems that it is impossible to perform upgrade installation to Windows 10 Technical Preview, although it is fine to click
Custom to perform clean installation which cannot keep the personal setting and applications.
However, what we want is upgrade installation, not clean installation.
Step 2: Perform the scenario 2: the upgrade installation works fine.
If extract the ISO installation to C:\New in the above step2, click the
setup.exe from the installation file C:\New\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\, the upgrade installation would work fine, which is as shown the following two figures:
Step 3: Check the setupact.log
file which contains information about setup actions during the installation of the two scenarios.
Scenario 1: Check the setupact.log file of the scenario 1. The detailed information is shown as below:

Scenario 2: Check the setupact.log file of the scenario 2. The detailed information is shown as below:
2014-10-14 19:08:04, Info UI Determining whether we should run ConX or legacy setup
2014-10-14 19:08:05, Info UI Will launch ConX setup experience

According to the two logs, we can get the following points:
In scenario 1, it would invoke the SetupPrep.exe in the source folder directly to perform an installation preparation. However, it failed to recognize the path
C:\New folder\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\Sources\SetupPrep.exe. Then it would launch legacy setup.
In the scenario 2, Windows setup would be redirected to the ConX setup to perform upgrade installation automatically.
So, what is the difference of the scenario 1 and 2 to bring the different results of upgrade installation?
Workaround
Based on lots of testing, we find that if there is no space in the extracting location of the ISO installation
file, the upgrade installation would work fine.
What’s more, we can get the meaning of the two setup models in the setupact.log:
Legacy setup: it is same with setup from DVD boot.
ConX setup: it would check the compatibility and language UI for upgrade preparation, then perform migration and upgrade directly.
Additional Resource
From the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview, many users have installed and tested Windows 10 Technical Preview, we still hope more and more users would download and install Windows 10 Technical Preview for test, and provide

Hello,
I would guess that existence of a space in the folder name is what the issue is. Try removing the space from the folder name and see if works. New_Folder for example

Top-Down Distribution - tcode KE28 (release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0)

All,
we are performing a release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 and we have a problem with the tcode KE28.
The variant already set up in the system don't match with the selection fields present in the screen, and the following message is shown:
Message no. KG346
The variant does not adhere to the current Customizing setup
We have saved the variant again, and no problem are present, but the error message refers also to Customizing setup.
Is there a section in the Customizing where it is possible set up the field to show in the initial screen or the new fields (All Valuation Views, Legal Valuation View and Profit Center Valuation View) are due to the release upgrade?
If yes, do you know the transaction/path?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jody Mancini.

May be those are all useful toyou

Merom / Conroe upgrade path for Intel iMac?

Has anything been released about a processor upgrade path (if possible) to take the Early 2006 IiMacs from the Yonah CPU family to Merom or Conroe?
I'm still steamed to be stuck with a 32-bit CPU (even though it is a good one, funny how that fact is still judiciously left out of all promotional materials) and wondered if I will be left high and dry in 2-3 months when the 64-bit Core 2 Duo chips ship.
It would be nice if there were an upgrade path to bring the early adopter faithful into the 64-bit realm. Anyone heard a mighty rumblin' ?

People have successfully removed the CPU and replaced it. And, the new chips are supposed to be compatible with any Yonah based system.
So, while there is no official upgrade path, it should not be a problem installing a new CPU in the machine later.
Obviously, the heat of the new chips will be a consideration. They may be hotter, they may not be.
And, it will obviously void your warranty.
But, it should be possible.

Upgrade Path 8.1.6 to 8.1.7.4

Hi,
I have to upgrade Oracle 8.1.6 to Oracle 8.1.7.4. In the Oracle8i Migration Release 3 (8.1.7) PDF documentation, I don't find a upgrade path. So I think I can directly uprade to 8.1.7.4. But somebody told me that I have first upgrade to 8.1.7.0?
Is there anybody with experince in this topic and can help me?
Oliver

You have to first upgrade from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7.0 and then apply the 8.1.7.4 patch. 8.1.7.4 is not the full blown database software, it's an upgrade.
The readme for 8.1.7.4 states:
This is not a complete software distribution and you must install it over an existing 8.1.7 Oracle Server installation.

Solaris 10 upgrade - Major problems - PLEASE HELP

I have a v880 running Solaris 10 11/06 (U3) which I am trying to upgrade to the latest Solaris 8/11 (U10) release without much success. I am simply using the Solaris Installation Program and booting from DVD and running the upgrade option. However the process fails with the following error:
The selected Software exceeds the available disk space.
The Solaris operating environment selected to upgrade contains
a metadevice. Disk Space Re-allocation is not allowed.
Please do one of the following:
Deselect some software to be installed.
Choose another version of Solaris to upgrade. (If available)
Go back and select Initial Install.
Exit the installation.<Press ENTER to continue>
A df -h shows that / has 22Gb free, swap space is 3.1Gb free, /var has 7.1Gb free and /usr 3.1Gb free. All the documentation seems to show that that is ample space. I'm relatively new to Unix and Solaris so be gentle with me if I'm doing something stupid. Many thanks to all. An initial install is not an option as I need to keep the setup as is.

It's probably /usr that it's whining about. It's not very exact when calculating space and 3.1G is not ample space these days. This is why I put everything in the / partition anymore. Don't have to worry about this crap down the line...
You might try copying some stuff off of /usr (if you can find it) and try again.

Need clarification on Solaris 10 upgrade for E Business suite application

Hi All,
Server details :
(1)Database tier : Sun Solaris 8 - 64 Bit
(2)Application tier ( E Business suite application services ): Sun Solaris 8 - 64 Bit
(3)Application tier ( E Business suite External tier - DMZ configuration ) : Sun Solaris 8 - 64 Bit
(4)10gAS and discoverer : Sun Solaris 8 - 64 Bit
We are planning to upgrade the Database tier (1) and Application tier (2) to Sun solaris 10 and leave the Application tier {
External - DMZ configuration } ( 3) and 10gAS and discoverer ( 4 ) with Sun
solaris 8 .
Please let us know if we will be having issues if we perform the OS upgrade in such a way.
Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

Rakesh,
There should be no issues with this upgrade path. Just make sure you relink all binaries after an OS Upgrade to ensure that everything is working as expected.
- Take a backup of the application/database
- Upgrade the OS
- Relink all binaries
- Start up the application/database
- Take another backup once you confirm that everything works properly

Nexus 7010 upgrade path

We currently have two Nexus 7010 with 5.0(2a) as system images.
We would need to know the correct upgrade path to 6.1(1). On the release notes it reads the path is from 4.2(8), 5.0(5) or 5.1(6) to 5.2(5) then to 6.1(1).
Also if ISSU is possible or, because we may need to upgrade EPLD, if there is no upgrade path to do a non-disruptive upgrade.

You probably need to dig a little deeper to get a definitive answer (sup1 or 2, type of cards, etc..) but here is a diagram in the release notes for 6.1 found here:

Upgrade path from ODI 10.1.3.5

Hello Friends,
We are using ODI 10.1.3.5. Like to get some recommendations on upgrade path from 10.1.3.5.
I read that we need to first upgrade to 10.1.3.6.x before considering upgrade to 11G release.
I guess, this might be in consideration to upgrade with minimal change with patch upgrade to 10.1.3.6.x than upgrading to big change 11G release.
If we have to upgrade to one safe step with not of a big impact/change to users and projects...what release upgrade-to is ideal? 10.1.3.6.x?
Appreciate your response!! Thanks.

Thanks for the information. If we have to upgrade to a latest release 11G it looks we can from 10.1.3.5, any suggestions we should consider 11.1.1.5 or 11.1.1.3? Not sure if these release are in sync with target KM's like Essbase & Planning on EPM front we are on 11.1.1.3

Do we have to mandatorily upgrade first to R12.1.1 and then apply R12.1.3 MP?

Thanks

Recommended Upgrade path for Apex 3.1.1

Hi Everyone,
just wondering what the recommended upgrade path from Apex 3.1 to 3.1.1 is. Is it just installing the Patch or is there an upgrade option for the full-3.1.1-version?
The reason i'm asking is not everyone has access to metalink and can therefor not download the patch from there but the full version from OTN
thanks,
Peter

Peter,
As with our previous patch sets, we release a full, new install on OTN and only release the patch via MetaLink (it is one of the benefits for customers with database support). You can use the full release to upgrade from 3.0 (or before) to 3.1.1 but to get from 3.1 to 3.1.1 you need either the patch or you need to do a new install.

Thanks in advance.

If you are upgrading to 10.1.2, the upgrade process is automated and the error reporting is very good (in case you run into any issues). Please check the Upgrade and Compatibility Guide available at
(For Windows - http://iasdocs/iasdl/1012win_doc/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm
(Oracle® Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Microsoft Windows )
and For Unix - http://iasdocs/iasdl/1012sol_doc/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm).
(Oracle® Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for UNIX )
(there should be the same doc available on OTN, so search by the doc name)
The upgrade of AS to 10.1.2 has gone through complete QA cycle and is a robust and easy process.
If you are upgrading to 10.1.3.x, then it's a different process; since there are lots of significant new features in 10.1.3. You will need to install the new Application Server and deploy your application.
Note, for database access, Oralce has re-implemented the dataso urce in 10.1.3.x releases. so for the config file data-sources.xml, it's automatically converted to the new format file underneath. So your existing data-sources.xml should work. But you could use admin.jar command to convert the file manually as well. please check service guide data source chapter.
