It 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.

  • Live Upgrade from 8 to 10 keeping Oracle install

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to figure out how to do a Live Upgrade from Solaris 8 (SPARC) to 10 and still keep my Oracle available after the reboot.
    Since all of the Oracle datafiles are on /un or /opt/oracle I figure I can just create a new BE for /, /etc and /var. From there I'd just need to edit /etc/vfstab, /etc/init.d/ (for db startups), copy over /var/opt/oracle/, mount /opt/oracle.
    Does that sound right? Has anyone done this?
    On a side note, I'm still trying to figure out Live Update. My system is configed with RAID 1 under Solstice (metatool). I'm concerened about being able to access the MetaDB once the BE switch goes through. Should I set up a new mirror for the new BE prior to running LU? Or should I configure the mirror for the new BE once the switchover has gone through?

    Hello dfkoch,
    To upgrade from ColdfFusion 8/ColdfFusion 9 to ColdfFusion 10, please download the setup for ColdfFusion 10 from http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html#cf10productdownloads and install the same with the serial number.
    The upgrade price can be checked at www.adobe.com or alternatively you can call our sales team.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.
    You might get better help in the cluster forum http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=842

  • 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 10 06/06 to Solaris 10 11/06

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade from Solaris 10 06/06 to Solaris 10 11/06
    What's the best way of doing this? I looked up Live Upgrade and regular update.
    It seems like an upgrade is exactly the same as a fresh install. Use a DVD and boot from it.
    For the Live Upgrade I can upgrade while system is in production.
    Shouldn't this type of upgrade (same main release, just updated) be easy, like updating packages or patching the system?
    Any comments, maybe I missed something major like upgrading by just adding a few simple packages and rebooting.

    When I try an upgrade, I never get prompted to
    upgrade.
    I get all the way to the point where it asks which
    disk to install to.There are various things that can disable the upgrade option, but the installer is very opaque about what it's doing.
    The most common thing is if /etc/vfstab can't be easily parsed to find all the OS filesystems. If there's any strange mounts that aren't OS related, you might want to remove them from /etc/vfstab and just make sure that you preserve the location that the data resides.
    You need to have one and only one partition visible on your disks with tag 'root'. I think that confuses the upgrade if there's more than one.
    Is the upgrade option after this? From the manuals I
    got that all info such as hostname, ip and everything
    else should be recognized from previous installs.
    But it asks me to input all of these.It's after the host identification section, but at the beginning of the Solaris installation section.
    So if it's asking for cluster level or which disks, it's past the point.

  • Upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 Release (11/11); Guide MIA?

    Would there be an easy way to upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 Release (11/11)? The FAQ for Solaris 11 Release has the following hopeful text:
    Can I upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11 from Oracle Solaris 11 Express or Oracle Solaris 11 Early Adopter?
    Yes. Customers can upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11 by using the package management tools. Refer to the Oracle Solaris 11
    Transition Guide (http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E23824&id=MF JAI) for more information
    But that link comes up with an error page 404, "topic not found".
    The one transition guide I can find is:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E23824_01/html/E21799/index.html
    But that covers Solaris 10 jumpstart, not Solaris 11 Express or Early Adopter.
    The Solaris 11 documentation at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/documentation/index.html
    Also seems to mention only Solaris 10, not 11 Express or Early Adopter.
    I have already downloaded the full repo for Solaris 11 Release, and the live installer, but I'm hoping it's something as simple as pointing the ips manager to a new repository, or just loading the full repo I already have as a local source. I would also like to keep the dtrace and sun studio set up I have now in the Express version, without reinstalling them on a new release version on bare metal.
    If it keeps the features of the express version while ironing out a few kinks (gdm authentication bug, etc.), that would rock.
    Many Thanks,
    Gordon

    Alan, Thank You, that worked with no problem at all. 11 Express was already using the correct repository, and only required a pkg command update, then other updates.
    So here's what I'm guessing:
    1. The Oracle Solaris maintained repository for Express and Early Adopter are now the same as Release, but they do require an updated pkg executable and pkg update command.
    2. The second form of the command mentioned in the update guide:
    # pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release
    -G http://internal.co.com/solaris solaris
    is for using a local copy of the repository within our lan or vpn wan.
    3. Updates should be fairly regular now that Solaris 11 is in release version.
    I think the new hash (SHA 256) fried some of our old gdm settings for our users, so we're creating new user accounts, and migrating the older accounts. We don't have too many, so it's not a problem for us. But that brings up another point:
    4. The graphical user manager in Express is now gone, and user and group management are now done with command line interface.
    That's fine with me as well. I always use ssh to connect to the machine and then run the screen command for administration. The graphical user manager was always kludgy in Express, and I couldn't get it to work correctly anyway.
    This is great stuff so far. Well done.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?   Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

    I think you are missing my point.
    For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
    And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

  • Can't install XCelsius Engade 2008 (upgrade from Pro 4.5) with Office XP

    Dear Support,
    I have purchased XCelsius Engade 2008, upgrade from Pro 4.5.
    Our corporate standard is still MS Office XP on Windows XP and it won't be updated in a near future.
    I can not install the product since it tells me that Office suit should be "pre-installed" first. And it is actually installed already.
    I have tested the trial version before - and it was fine. It is written on the CD box that system requirements includes Office XP but it does not work. Please help ASAP!!!
    And just for the information:
    Trial version build no: BuildVersion=12.1.0.247 (seems to work)
    Version on CD which I have purchased: BuildVersion=12.0.0.121 (refuses to install)
    Thanks and regards,
    Andrey

    Hi Andrey,
    you don't need to uninstall Xcelsius 4.5 - it's a separate product and you can install it back. I have both Xcelsius 4.5 and Xcelsius 2008 on the same machine. I am not sure why it does not recognize the Office on your machine, may be you need to upgrade your Office to a later version, I hope somebody else will have more information. May be this link will be helpful

  • 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.

    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?

  • Upgrading from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8 on an Ultra 60

    I am currently investigating upgrading an Ultra 60 machine from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8. I would like to save the data on the machine, if possible. Is there any way to do this? The only thing that I can find is downloads to get the entire Solaris 8 on three CDs, and it doesn't sound like it would save the data on the disk. (Though I don't know - this is the first time that I am upgrading from 7 to 8.) Any links of answers would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks!

    You're talking about 2 different things.
    1. Downloading and "burning" CD images
    2. Upgrading from Sol 7 to Sol 8.
    Once you have successfully downloaded, burned and tested your CD's then you can use them to Upgrade your system. You do not need to download or burn the Installation CD. You only need CD 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. You should probably test these CD's with an Initial Install on a system you don't care about.
    Once the CD's have been tested then you can use them to Upgrade. You should see the option of Initial Install or Upgrade after you have answered all the sysid questions. Please note that you should not even think about an Upgrade unless you have done a level 0 ufsdump of your entire boot disk to a local tape drive. You may need it in case you have to resize your partitions if Solaris 8 doesn't fit into your existing filesystems.

  • Patching broken in Live Upgrade from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10

    I'm using Live Upgrade to upgrade a Solaris 9 system to Solaris 10. I installed the
    LU packages from Solaris 10 11/06 plus the latest Live Upgrade patches. Everything
    went fine until I attempted to use `luupgrade -t' to apply Recommended and Security patches to the
    Solaris 10 boot environment. It gave me this error:
    ERROR: The boot environment <sol10env> supports non-global zones.The current boot environment does not support non-global zones. Releases prior to Solaris 10 cannot be used to maintain Solaris 10 and later releases that include support for non-global zones. You may only execute the specified operation on a system with Solaris 10 (or later) installed.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the Recommended patches installed without having to first activate and boot up to 10?

  • Upgrading from XP to Vista with no recovery drive.

    Hello,
    I plan to upgrade from XP to Vista. I have the whole 160 GB disk allocated to XP as a C drive. I have no problems in formatting it while changing to Vista.
    The problem is that Lenovo gave no Vista DVD when I bought the laptop. Everything was given in the recovery partition which I formatted when I downgraded to XP. So how should I change back to Vista ?
    Also I was browsing through the Lenovo Drivers website becoz I need Vista drivers once I install Vista onto the laptop. There are different versions of drivers available for my laptop's type-model, so how should I know that which one works best or which one was given in the factory installation from lenovo? 

    The simplest answer is to purchase the recovery cd if you were shipped with vista. The tech center can help with your purchase but they can order only what was originally shipped on the laptop. The cost is $45.00 plus s&h and local taxes.
