How to upgrade from solaris 8 to solaris 10
Hi,
Currently our server is installed with OS 8. I want to upgrade it to OS 10 as some application software is no more support OS 8. Can you advise on how to upgrade to OS 10 without affecting current server settings and configrations.
Thanks

settings and configrations.Generally speaking, Solaris installs will offer you the opportunity to do an "upgrade" install that will preserve your existing config.
Practically speaking, however, you need to have enough disk space to do the upgrade, and Solaris 10's full install is much larger than Solaris 8's.
The install can also offer to do a data backup for you if it finds it has to resize your disk partitions, so you should be prepared with a tape drive (or available extra disk or NFS filesystem) for temporary storage of the backup.
Even with all this, I would still recommend you make a backup of your system before starting. -
Solaris 9 404 Upgrade to Solaris 10 on Ultra 10
I tried to do a Solaris 9 404 Upgrade to Solaris 10 on my Ultra 10 with SVM mirrored system drives and it wouldn't get past the Upgrade Profile Initialisation section. It stayed there for a long time, maybe 20 minutes and finally came up with a Failed screen. It compalined about a missing device name, said it couldn't find root or boot and mentioned something about filesystem backups.
Is an upgrade from tis configuration really supported?
Ultra 10 440MHZ 768MB RAM. Dual 73GB SCSI mirrored with SVM system drives. One 120GB IDE media drive. There is only a main and a swap partition on the system drive ie everything is in /.
Am currently backing up the data I want from the system drives prior to attempting an initial install but I'd obviously prefer to upgrade the system and keep the SVM filesystems as they are.
Nick ([email protected])I would break your mirror and do a liveupgrade on the available mirror. Then boot that disk.

Upgrading from solaris 9 to 10, with oracle installed
Hi
Friends i have salaries 9 on the my machine with oracle and web server configured,
Now i want to upgrade to solaris 10, any effect to oracle,
Cheer's
Rajendra PrasadIt should work. You can use live upgrade method but needed some space. If upgrade fails ( should not be ) you can always revert back to original setup.
But be ready for installation of same version of Oracle , if needed. No need to say backup is must for OS and Oracle.
You should well aware SMF before upgrdation.

Following my posts on LU on Solaris 10, I now need to do the same on Solaris 11.2. The two machines are brand new - not being used in anger.
I saw the useful blog https://blogs.oracle.com/oem/entry/using_ops_center_to_update
One of our machines has the following:
beadm list
BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created
solaris - - 12.99M static 2014-06-21 05:39
solaris-1 NR / 25.76G static 2014-09-10 12:00
solaris-1-backup-1 - - 323.0K static 2014-09-29 11:45
solaris-1-backup-2 - - 172.0K static 2014-11-12 12:26
When asked, the person who looked after the machine, he was not sure how these were created. I would like to know how do I ensure that the two boot environment are the same and if that is the case if one can be deleted. Whether the backups are required and if they are auto-generated. Essentially, I am a total newbie on Live Upgrade, but I see as the only way to apply patches and other packages.
Regards
SCHi,
please note that Live Upgrade is obsolete and isn't used on Solaris 11 and above. Solaris 11
uses pkg(1) and beadm(1M) to manage boot environments.
The output from beadm list shows the currently existing boot environments. Those environments
are created by pkg(1) when updating the system or in certain situations when destructive package
operations take place (the "-backup" environments).
Please see
Updating to Oracle Solaris 11.2
for more information on upgrading Solaris.
In your example output the solaris boot environment is most likely the result of an
initial installation. Then someone later updated the environment resulting in a new
environment solaris-1 (which is also the current boot environment). Some pkg
operations then caused some backup boot environments to be created. This is
done to make sure that a fall-back exists should there be a problem with the newly
installed packages. If you don't need to go back to that stage you can also remove them.
It is recommended to always keep a known-good boot environment around just in case.
If you are happy with the current one you can ask beadm to create such an environment
like this:
# beadm create my-known-good-be
Please note: When using the pkg command to update the system you can
also specify a custom name for the new boot environment, e.g.
# pkg update --be-name=s11.2
would name the new environment s11.2 instead of some generic name like "solaris-X".

After upgrading to Solaris 10 "Can't load the root filesystem" on V245
I have a Sunfire V245 that was running on Solaris 9 (very stable). I upgraded to Solaris 10 (6/06) this morning and everything seemed to go smoothly. After the upgrade the system rebooted, but will not boot. I get the following uptput;
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: disk File and args:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118833-17 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
pxb_bcm: cannot load driver
Cannot load drivers for /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/disk@0,0:a
Can't load the root filesystem
Type 'go' to resume
"go" attempts to reboot, but I end up back in the same place.
Please help.
Thanks in advanced,
CraigIt seems like the driver for that device does not exist. Since the system installed successfully it means that it S10 did find a disk. I wonder if that was a different disk than the default disk. Please boot to the miniroot and check the disk info.

I have been using a WD Passport with Time Machine on my iMac. Since I upgraded to Mavericks, the backup no longer works. What do I need to do?
I assume that upgrading the WD SmartWare is irrelevant as it is not being used. Should I upgrade just as a precaution?
One complication is that I have renamed my user since the last time I backed up.the problem is with the WD Passport drives. I also have one, and since upgrading to 10.9 I can no longer use mine either. See if this solution works for you: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23943103#23943103

Oracle 10g RAC to 11g RAC Upgrade on Solaris
Hi,
We are planning to do a migration of a 4 Node Oracle 10g RAC on Solaris 9 to 11g with Solaris 10. We'd like know what would be the best path to take. We cannot afford any downtime!
Options: Are these feasible? Which option is best? Any documents links?
a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?
c) Use Dataguard with 2 different RAC environments (2 nodes each). How would this work? Is it the only possible way? Any steps please?
Thanksa) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?Hi,
first of all i would not change several components (OS, database version) at a time. My recommendation is to make small steps and start with the operating system first. Seconds recommendation is to test and test everything in your dev or test environment prior doing the upgrades in the productive environment. Trust me: You will face problems :-) So you better try it beforehand!
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?As far i know you can run different operating system versions on different nodes if they are supported (Solaris 9 and 10 are).

Upgrading to solaris 8 using a profile file
I have successfully upgraded from Solaris 7 to 8 on an E250, maintaining the integrity of my previous applications. Is there a way to use a profile file so that the upgrade is �hands-free?� I can do this already via a jumpstart server, but is there a way to do it while booting from the Solaris 8 CD???
Thanks in advance,
KevinI've never had any issues with CF8 locking on emails, we send thousands without any issues.
As for the script I have honestly never tried restarting CF from itself, but I'd try calling a Powershell script, which can do the restart in one move:
get-service | ?{$_.name -match "Coldfusion 8 Application Server"} | restart-service
Haven't tried it but that'd be a good place to start I reckon.

Local mods - upgrading to Solaris 8
Hi
I will be upgrading from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 8.
How much will I have to re-do in the way of the configuration of things like cron jobs, rtel printers, lpadmin printers, serial port (aurora) configuration and ?any other local modifications?
Will I have to reinstall the aurora serial port drivers?
Are the /etc/rcn.d directory contents and /etc/inittab preserved?
Thanks
D"Most" user configurable files will "survive" an upgrade but it is up to you to find out if such things as aurora serial port drivers are supported, or will even work ,in Solaris 8 or if an upgrade is required. Your primary network interface may be the only interface to survive the upgrade. Cron jobs should be OK.
The only way to protect yourself is to have a level 0 ufsdump of all your OS slices to a local tape drive. Preferably this will be done from a cdrom boot. Don't really want to dump "live" files. You can then interactivly ufsrestore missing files.
If your upgrade turns sour, or your filesystems are too small for Solaris 8 then a ufsrestore may be your only recourse.
Please try to find InfoDoc 16141 - Solaris Upgrade Tips & Checklist.
Please ensure your system boots before any upgrade begins. -
