Upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9... it sort of worked

I upgraded a V440 from solaris 8 to solaris 9 last night and it sort of worked. I tried installing off of disk1 instead of the install disk and it wouldn't mount the cd. So I just installed off of the install disk. All seemed to go well but after the reboot it was clear that things didn't go as planned. Basically what happened was the upgrade took the old file systems and placed them under a new /a directory and did a clean install on new file systems. None of my system configuration came over, nor my users, nor my applications... everything was just moved to /a.
Any ideas what happened here? Also, can I reboot using the old (Solaris 8) file systems and then try another upgrade?
Thanks,
bart

After upgrading from it6 to itunes7 my videos doesn´t work

After upgrading from itunes6 to itunes7 my videos doesn´t work. Theres no error message, no reaction. all the music play like befor, only my vids (quicktime), all!! the vids doesnt work after updating..i hope, that someone could help me..
Many thanks
Cross

hmmmm. let's try checking to see if they will still play in your current version of QuickTime.
in itunes, right-click on one of the videos that is causing the grief, and select "Show in Windows Explorer".
right click the icon of the file in the Explorer window that comes up and select "Open With ...", and try to open it with your QuickTime player. does it play there or do you get funny business with that too?

IDS5.1 SP1 upgrade from 5.1 - Solaris

Hi,
We are trying to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.1 SP1 on Solaris. Ran the idsktune, and installed necessary patches. Made sure that admin server and slapd is running before istallation. Got the following error
ERROR: Could not update Directory Server Instance

Any Ideas ?

Hi,
Was this problem ever resolved? I'm having an almost identical problem when upgrading 5.1 to 5.1sp1 (gives a 153:unknown error rather than 19). We're running Solaris 8, local hosts, no NIS, no DNS.

Does your keyboard not work at all or only in X? If your keyboard doesn't work at all, boot into a live CD (so that your keyboard works) and post your /var/log/everything.log. If your keyboard works everywhere but in X, post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
-- edit: If you are positive that you ONLY upgraded your kernel, just boot a live CD and post your everything.log.

Vista upgrade from XP- now can't get applications to work.

Upgraded my computer from XP to Vista and although I recovered many files from the windows.old folder I can't get these files or applications to work. i.e.: I can't get MS Office pro to work, that's just an example. I can't get any of
the applications to work. What has to be done to get these applications (and games) to run.

It sounds as though you are just copying the files from Windows.old. However to make them work you must really reinstall the applications and games.

Wifi issues after upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite. No solutions have worked.

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 from Mavericks. Having wifi issue where I can't connect to my home network. It connects for 5 seconds than I get "no IP address", and then the connection drops. A free local wifi connection does work. Any ideas until this issue is fixed by Apple? My home router worked fine in Maverick. I tried all the online suggestions but nothing has worked. Have not downgraded yet to Maverick but thinking about it.

Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion: Airparrot stopped working

Hello,
I used airparrot on my appletv 3 and my <acbook (late 2008) to mirror my screen. However, I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and now suddenly, Airparrot cannot find my Appletv anymore, it continues saying: "searching for devices...".
I already tried rebooting my macbook, disconnecting the electricity of the Appletv unit and removing the Airparrot app. All without result.
Can someone please help me as this is the only functionality I use my AppleTV for... I want to cry.... I can't even remember why I wanted to upgrade to Mountain Lion except curiosity!
Any insight is much appreciated.

I don't use Air Parrot, so you should wait to talk to their tech support to see what they suggest before looking for an issue with OS X. I know nothing about using Airplay, but here's a bunch of help stuff:
About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Upgrading from 8.5 to 2008

Post Author: mackcsc
CA Forum: Other
Hi
Im using CR8.5. Im using it with VB6. Here is how im using it:
Create a VB6 project, add a class and a Crystal Report 8.5 ActiveX designer. The class contains mainly all the formating and gathering of the data fot eh report, the designer only has the design of the report. I make this project an ActiveX dll. Then the main app im using calls on this dll and prints the report(im using many report so many dlls)
Can i upgrade from 8.5 to 2008 and still continue working the same way?

CR 8.5 or 9 is not Oracle 11 aware. Past their end of life so not sure how to fix this. Possibly use ODBC or OLE DB drviers.

Upgrading from FrameMaker 7 to 8

Hi all,
I'm the one that posted the topic http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6575e/0 but seems that noone has a good answer to the problem.
To recap, it's a problem about FrameMaker 7 + FDK 7 + Distiller 5 (i.e. there's an external C++ program that calls the FrameMaker and comands it via FDK). The problem is about saving as PDF, that eventually causes FM to crash (same book, same conditionals -> always crash).
At this point I'm considering to switch to FM 8, FDK 8 and a compatibile Distiller (???) but I don't know how painful that could be.
Does anyone know if:
- books written into FM 7 have to be converted to be used with FM 8
- books written into FM 7 looks the same when printed with FM 8
- the FDK 7's API are compatible with the FDK 8's
- there are overall consideration to be made prior to embark in switching between 7 and 8
Any advice is appreciated, either about solving/inspecting the FM 7 crash, either about the upgrade from 7 to 8.
Thanks for your work,
n3u.

Well,
I managed to get a VC2005 and to fierce fight to get my application recompiled with FDK8.
Then, to let it run, I had to face funky errors like missing icuuc28.dll, icudt28l.dll, icuin28.dll that are actually shipped with FM8 but not into the right place (system32). I wonder if that files will have to be copied inside the system32 directory for each workstation that will need to run my application!
Besides this, the application finally run and in a certain way it worked! What's shocking is that after the PDF creation the FM8 crashes abruptly giving a nice set of new errors:
1 - The font information for your system has changed. This change may affect the format and output of your document(s);
2 - Internal Error: 8004, 6343724, 8484240, 0;
3 - The function XXXX referenced memory that was "read" (or something like that).
I wonder what's going on!
Of course the fact that the PDF is created until the last page it's a good new, but all that bunch of errors are quite scaring and however not quite a sign of stability.
Do you know the new error I am getting?
There's something that can be done to further inspect the problem?
Thanks alot,
n3u.

Help needed upgrading from Vista to XP for Conexant Sound Driver

I upgraded from Vista to XP and got everything else working except for the sound. I have scoured the interenet and tried many versions of drivers from Vista ones to XP ones with no success. Even though the drivers seem to update correctly when installed, after a reboot there is no sound device loaded in the control panel for sound. I have a P105-6197 model laptop. Does anyone have any process to make this work that is proven? Thanks

Upgrade from Solaris 8 (5.8) to 5.10 fails

Hi everyone...
Here is a curly one for the Sun gurus.
I attempted to perform the upgrade from Sol 8 (Dec/02) to Sol 10 (from the CD/DVD Jan/06) and got all the way past the "Test Upgrade Profile". The initialize started after I clicked onto the gui "Install Now" button. However, it fails after an hour or so - each an every time.
We have the 4.2.1 DiskSuite defined on a 3310 disk array and well as the 2 system disks - which are striped and mirrored. I can not do a Live Upgrade as I don't have a spare disk, so Sun Support in India suggested I do the upgrade in place...but is crashs attempting to copy files from the CD to the Server, as well as , so other strange error messages?
The first attempt was to leave vfstab untouched, the 2nd was to comment out the disk array (D30, D31, & D32) devices. But both fail. The install logs will be uploaded.
vfstab:

Now initially I had to add a number of packages/patches via the note 72099 that was displayed at the very beginning of the Sol 10 upgrade. Also, do and check the necessary bits via document 16141-1.
But the upgrade just fails. I would like to keep the disk array and its data intact for the upgrade as it has Oracle 11i Apps databases and its a bit of work redefining the metastat and loading Oracle, and the other bits it needs, as well as Netbackup etc.
So, are there are any bright sparks out there that can help?
Please email me.

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
Copyright boot
GPL_LGPL_Source_Offer.txt installer
Solaris_10 platform

Upgrading from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10

Hi
I am in the process of upgrading from Solaris 8 to 10 on a sparc server.
What I would like to know if anyone has experienced compatibility issues during the upgrade with the Korn and C Shell as well as perl.

Upgrades from either Solaris 8 or 9 are supported (see the Release Notes http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552 section on "Changes in Upgrade Support for Solaris Releases").
As for whether to upgrade or install anew, it depends. If you just want to have the system set up as much as possible like it is now except with the new OS, upgrade. If you'd like a chance for a fresh start, where you may have to do some work re-applying configuration and other changes you made, but end up leaving behind some old changes you no longer need, then an initial install might be appropriate.

Upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9... it sort of worked
