Solaris 9 9/04 Installation Guide

Installing Solaris Live Upgrade

You need to install the Solaris Live Upgrade packages on your current operating environment. The release of the Solaris Live Upgrade packages must match the release of the Operating Environment you are upgrading to. For example, if your current operating environment is the Solaris 8 release and you want to upgrade to the Solaris 9 release, you need to install the Solaris Live Upgrade packages from the Solaris 9 release.

You can install packages using the pkgadd command or using the Solaris Live Upgrade installer. See To Install Solaris Live Upgrade With the pkgadd Command or To Install Solaris Live Upgrade With the Solaris Web Start Installer.

Note –

If you are running theSolaris 2.6, Solaris 7, or Solaris 8 release, you might not be able to run the Solaris Live Upgrade installer. These releases do not contain the set of patches needed to run the Java 2 runtime environment. You must have the Java 2 runtime environment recommended patch cluster to run the Solaris Live Upgrade installer and install the packages. To install the Solaris Live Upgrade packages, use the pkgadd command. Or, install the Java 2 runtime environment recommended patch cluster that is available on http://sunsolve.sun.com.
