Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Saving and Restoring Trusted Solaris Databases

The Trusted Solaris 8 and Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 user and profile databases are in new formats with new names. To retain the usable data from their previous versions requires an administrator, before installing the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 operating environment, to run the tsolconvert utility on a Trusted Solaris 7 or Trusted Solaris 2.5.1 system, to save the output directory to a safe storage area, and then to restore the files and run a shell script on the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 system.

The following table shows the name or content difference between earlier releases and the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 release.
