Upgrading the Solaris 7 Operating Environment With Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) 1.0 to the Solaris 8 Operating Environment Causes WBEM 2.0 Not to Work (4274920)

If you installed WBEM 1.0 from the Solaris Easy Access Server (SEAS) 3.0 CD on a system running the Solaris 7 operating environment, you must remove the WBEM 1.0 packages before upgrading to the Solaris 8 operating environment. The Solaris WBEM Services 2.0 do not start after upgrading the Solaris 7 operating environment with WBEM 1.0 to the Solaris 8 operating environment. The Common Information Model (CIM) Object Manager fails to start. The following error message is displayed.

File not found: /opt/sadm/lib/wbem/cimom.jar

Workaround: Use the pkgrm command to remove the WBEM 1.0 packages before upgrading to the Solaris 8 operating environment.

1. Use the pkginfo command to check if the WBEM 1.0 packages are installed by typing:

   % pkginfo | grep WBEM

2. Become superuser.

3. Use the pkgrm command to remove all WBEM 1.0 packages by typing:

   # pkgrm SUNWwbapi # pkgrm SUNWwbcor # pkgrm SUNWwbdev # pkgrm SUNWwbdoc # pkgrm SUNWwbm
