Upgrade Solaris 8 from 10/01 to 02/02

Hi all, I need to upgrade some systems from Solaris 8 10/01 to 02/02. I use VxVM 3.2 and VxFS 3.4. I don't need to upgrade Veritas Software. I want use Live Upgrade and in all example I find (2.6 ==> 8) I have to reinstall VxVM. In my situation, is Veritas products reinstallaton mandatory?? Can I use unencapsulation and encapsulation??

Hi,
You have to get volume manager out of the way before you upgrade solaris. You can un-encapsulate the root disk, upgrade then re-encapsulate if you want.
The way I do is as follows:
boot up normally from the vxroot disk.
touch /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
#This will stop volume manager from starting up in a normal mode. Basically stops all the volume management stuff from interferring
remove the root entries in /etc/system for veritas (e.g. rootdev:/psuedo/vxio@0:0 and set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1)
#this line tells solaris that the root volume is a veritas device. Without this removed Solaris will try to mount up the root disk as a veritas volume and fail.
cp /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.old
cp /etc/vfstab.prevm /etc/vfstab
#replaces the /etc/vfstab file with the pre-volume-manager one
reboot the system.
It will now reboot without volume manager. Boot it all up to make sure there are no problems / errors, the do an init 0, then a boot cdrom - install or whatever to install solaris. upgrade solaris.
Machine will then reboot after Solaris has been upgraded. Re-install volume manager (might not be required if you're on the same solaris version) and re-encapsulate the root disk. Initalise the root-mirror, and mirror the root disk to the mirror (after the 2 reboots that volume manager needs)
Much easier to do the upgrade this way ;)
There are some infodocs on this procedure on the support.veritas.com knowledge base as well, if you want the `preferred veritas endorsed` method..

Upgrading Solaris from 2.6 to 2.8 -- how to relink IAS 1.0.2.2.2

Hi,
We will be upgrading our Application Server from Solaris 2.6 to 2.8 (32-bit)
very soon.
We have the following Oracle products installed on this server:
Oracle Internet Application Server (IAS) 1.0.2.2.2 components:
Apache HTTP 1.3.19.0.0f
Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Oracle Discoverer 4.1.44
Oracle Forms and Reports 6.0.8.18.0 (aka Patchset 9)
JVM Build 3805
Jinitiator 1.1.8.16
Can someone please tell us what steps we need to perform before/during/after the
Solaris upgrade in order to ensure that our Oracle products will still function
after the upgrade?
Are there any risks or issues that we need to be aware of, with regard to this
upgrade and the list of products identified above?
Thanks,

Upgrade solaris from 9 to 10 - Oracle issues?

We are planning to upgrade our Solaris box, running oracle 9.2.0.5,
from solaris 9 (5.9) to 10, this to take advantage of better TCP/IP
stack on Solaris 10 , and the Network trunking feature, multiplexing
network cards to same IP, which is non-standard in Solaris 9.
Our DB does not run in a cluster, and uses local disks only.
any issue we should be aware of? would all our system settings, like
disk, init and /etc/system remain unchanged? any estimate of down time?
I am assuming we would have to shut down oracle while running the
upgrade.
I just read that /etc/system is not supported? what would we have to do instead?
thanks!

You may need to re-link Oracle.

Upgrading Solaris 10 from 32-bit to 64-bit in a VirtualBox VM

Hello,
I am running 32-bit Sol 10 u5 x86 as a guest in a Sun VirtualBox (Vbox) virtual machine on a 32-bit WinXP host with 64-bit VT-capable Xeon processors, and am considering upgrading Solaris 10 to 64-bit using the latest version of Vbox (2.0.0). After installing WinXP Professional x64 and the 64-bit version of Vbox, will I have to completely re-install Sol 10 to get it to run in 64-bit, or is there some way to get it to 64-bit without a re-install? The Vbox forums suggested that I post this question on a Solaris forum, as they don't know the answer.
They apparently also do not know if Windows XP x64 is a compatible host OS on which to run 64-bit guests. They list only Vista, Linux, and OpenSolaris as supported 64-bit host OSs. Has anyone used WinXP x64 as a host for Vbox 64-bit guests? Due to policy, Vista is not available to me on my system/network.
Thank you...

The x86 installer will place both 32-bit and 64-bit code on the disk.
The loader fired by GRUB will attempt to detect the proper hardware and launch the correct kernel.
Other portions of the upgrade could conceivably cause a problem, but having the CPUs go from 32-bit only to 64-bit capable shouldn't be an issue. You don't have to make any changes.

Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc E2900 server

Hi,
We have a Sparc E2900 server which has Solaris 8 & Veritas Volume Manager 4.0. UFS & VXFS filesystems are under Veritas control.
We are planning to upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
My questions are as follows
1) Can we upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 directly ?
2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?
3) Which is the best site to get information regarding upgradation ?
Regards,
Tejas J Raval

2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?No, it dows not. If you want to use VxFS you still need to have Veritas products installed on this server

Upgrading Solaris 9 to Solaris 10

Hi, I need to upgrade my workstation from solaris 9 to solaris 10 by CD. And also upgrade solaris 8 to solaris 9.
Do u have any idea how to do it? Can giv step by step?
Thanks
regards,
raymond

You do not need to use liveupgrade to upgrade, unless you want to learn it--it's complicated. It's good for servers and if you wish to go back to pre-upgrade. You need plenty of spare disk space.
First backup your data on your system to another hard disk or DVD.
Then stick in the installation DVD and select "Upgrade" instead of "Initial Install" when asked.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

Hi,
if your using oracle db please make sure your db settings and tnsnames.oRA settings
also try you please try below troubleshooting steps:
1) please check latest error message and find the root cause,
presentation catalog log path:
obiee installed Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\sawlog0.txt file
also check it nqserver.log file
oracle bi server log path ref:
obiee installed Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\nqserver.log
2)can you try to login RPD,EM and console by using your weblogic a/c then try to login with some other user.
if its not working then try to delete that users from catlog and check it Check OPMN services are running state.
e.x:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl startall
opmnctl startall: starting opmn and all managed processes...
C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl status
Processes in Instance: instance1

3) Refresh GUIDs and Restart WebLogic and OPMN Services then try it again...still if your getting same issues then try to
check DB(try to login and confirm) and check it RPD --> physical layer connection pool setting and try to
view physical data.
also paste it your latest error log message (nqserver.log and sawlog01.log message) here

Can I upgrade directly from ColdFusion 9 Enterprise to ColdFusion 11 Enterprise without going to 10 first?

Can I upgrade directly from ColdFusion 9 Enterprise to ColdFusion 11 Enterprise without going to 10 first?
For those who have done this,
1. What quirks did you find that you had to overcome in your installation (I know that everyone's environment is different and produces differest results)?
2. What part of your code broke for which you had to find fixes?
Tips and suggestions for a smooth installation, besides following the installation document.
Thanks!

Create a car (archive file) in CF 9 enterprise which will capture all CF 9 settings like Data sources, Web services etc. Make sure when you are doing this, pop up blocker is disabled.
NOTE : While creating the archive file, give the full name with the absolute path in the package name. For example C:\Test\mypackage.car
Then move this car file into the server where you want to install CF 11. Install CF 11 and then deploy this archive (car) file. All CF 9 settings will be migrated to CF 11 enterprise.
Else, if you want to install CF 11 on the same server where CF 11 is installed, then remove the connector for all the websites which are configured with CF 9, make sure the CF 9 services are running and then run the CF 11 installer and at the end of CF 11 installation, you will get a dialogue box which will ask you to migrate CF 9 settings in CF 11.
Run the Code Analyzer in CF 11 Administrator to check whether any the CF 9 code used in your application is breaking in CF 11 or not

Upgrade IDSM2 from 4.1(5)S225 to 5,1 using application partition

can i upgrade an IDSM2 (WS-SVC-IDSM2-BUN)in a 6513 from 4.1(5)S225 to 5.1 by copying the 5.1 application partition to the sensor
[from the cisco userguide]
Chapter 10 Configuring the Sensor Using the CLI
Reimaging Appliances and Modules
Reimaging the IDSM-2
This section contains the following topics:
Catalyst Software, page 10-124
Cisco IOS Software, page 10-126
Catalyst Software
To reimage the application partition, follow these steps:
Step 1 Obtain the application partition file from Software Center on Cisco.com and copy
it to an FTP server.
Step 2 Log in to the switch CLI.
Step 3 Boot the IDSM-2 to the maintenance partition:
cat6k> (enable) reset module_number cf:1
Step 4 Log in to the maintenance partition CLI:
login: guest
Password: cisco
Step 5 Reimage the application partition:
[email protected]# upgrade ftp://user@ftp server IP/directory
path/image file
Step 6 Specify the FTP server password.
After the application partition file has been downloaded, you are asked if you
want to proceed:
Upgrading will wipe out the contents on the hard disk. Do you want to
proceed installing it [y|n]:
Step 7 Type y to continue.
When the application partition file has been installed, you are returned to the
maintenance partition CLI.
Step 8 Exit the maintenance partition CLI and return to the switch CLI.
Step 9 Reboot the IDSM-2 to the application partition:
cat6k> (enable) reset module_number hdd:1
Step 10 When the IDSM-2 has rebooted, check the software version.
Step 11 Log in to the application partition CLI and initialize the IDSM-2.
See Initializing the Sensor, page 10-2, for the procedure.
IF NOT, THEN IS THERE A SHORT CUT FROM 4.1 to 5.1 ?

Just wanted to clarify some things.
As Scott has already confirmed you can re-image using the method described and following Scott's advice on what additional updates to install.
BUT understand that any configuration you have your 4.1 sensor will be lost during that method of re-imaging to 5.1.
Another alternative is to first upgrade from 4.1(5)S225 to 5.0(1), and then to upgrade to 5.1(1).
The upgrade to 5.0(1) will convert the 4.1 configuration into a compatible 5.0 format.
I saw another post you made implying that you had to downgrade back to 4.1(5)S189 to do the 5.0(1) upgrade. This is not the case. You can upgrade directly from your current 4.1(5)S225 to 5.0(1).
You can install the IPS-K9-maj-5.0-1-S149.rpm.pkg file directly on your current 4.1(5)S225 sensor.
When S225 was installed on your 4.1(5) sensor, it also placed in storage the corresponding S225 update for your 5.0 sensor.
So when IPS-K9-maj-5.0-1-S149.rpm.pkg is installed on the sensor it will detect that stored off S225 for 5.0 and install it at the same time.
So once installed you will be immediately at 5.0(1)S225.
Once at 5.0(1)S225, then you can upgrade directly to 5.1(1) using the IPS-K9-min-5.1-1d.pkg upgrade.
(NOTE: 5.1-1d file was created to fix some upgrade bugs, but still installs the same 5.1(1) files as the original 5.1(1) upgrade package).
So you will wind up at 5.1(1)S225.
Now at this point I would recommend installing at least one later signature update (S226 or higher in your case) BEFORE installing the 5.1(1p1) patch.
And AFTER the signature update, then install the 5.1(1p1) Engineering Patch (contact the TAC for this patch).
Because of this specific upgrade path, the best way to avoid some issues is to install at least one signature update before installing the 5.1(1p1) patch. The signature update helps to ensure the sensor is ready for the 5.1(1p1) upgrade. Some of the files needed for the 5.1(1p1) upgrade have been seen to not get carried forward properly in the upgrade from 5.0(1) to 5.1(1), but a signature update corrects those issues.
NOTE: This precaution of installing the signature update BEFORE the 5.1(1p1) is only needed when upgrading from 5.0(1) to 5.1(1). If imaging directly to 5.1(1) using the maintenance partition, then the 5.1(1p1) can be installed before a signature update without an issue.
Once 5.1(1p1) is up and running and monitoring packets and generating alarms, then additional signature updates can be installed afterwards.

Upgrade 4240 from 4.1 to 5.0

Salam
i want to upgrade 4240 from 4.1 to 5.0
when i am in romon mode and i give ip address to managment Interface of IDS and Tftp Server Address. After giving address i am not able to ping in romon mode to tftp server. i have use cross cable between IDS and TFTP Server and also droping straight cable from IDS and tftp server on switch. But when i am in configuration mode then i can ping. So please tell me what i do to upgrade 5.0. also tell me if any other method to upgrade . Thanks in advance

If you are truly attempting to upgrade from 4.1 to 5.0 (versus a re-image), the correct approach is to install the 5.0(1) Major update file using the CLI upgrade command. This will retain any configuration settings on the sensor.
The steps you describe above are to re-image your sensor using the 5.0(2) system image. I am not sure why your settings are not working. Have you assigned an IP address to the gateway? Depending on your network topology, this may be necessary. You should also try pinging your gateway or another active address on your network to see if you are even getting out of the sensor.
