Upgrading to Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 Software

Language:

This section explains how to upgrade to the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 software.

Save your configuration to the SP.
```
# ldm add-config config-name
```
The following example saves the configuration called ldoms-prev-config:
```
# ldm add-config ldoms-prev-config
```
Perform a flash upgrade of the system firmware, if needed.
Disable the Logical Domains Manager daemon (ldmd).
```
# svcadm disable ldmd
```
Remove the old SUNWldm package.
```
# pkgrm SUNWldm
```
Add the new SUNWldm package.
```
# pkgadd -Gd . SUNWldm.v
```
Specifying the –d option indicates that the package is in the current directory.

Note - To obtain the latest features for this Oracle VM Server for SPARC release, you might need to apply one or more patches. For more information, see Fully Qualified Oracle Solaris OS Versions.
Use the ldm list command to verify that the Logical Domains Manager is running.
The ldm list command should list all domains that are currently defined on the system. In particular, the primary domain should be listed and be in the active state. The following sample output shows that only the primary domain is defined on the system.
```
# ldm list
NAME             STATE    FLAGS   CONS    VCPU  MEMORY   UTIL  UPTIME
primary          active   ---c-   SP      32    3264M    0.3%  19d 9m
```

Save your configuration to the SP.
```
# ldm add-config config-name
```
The following example saves the configuration called ldoms-prev-config:
```
# ldm add-config ldoms-prev-config
```
Register to use the online software repository.
See Certificate Generator Online Help.
Install the required Oracle Solaris 11 SRU.
```
# pkg update
```
For information about updating to a new SRU, see How to Update Oracle Solaris 11 Systems From Oracle Support Repositories.
Upgrade the system firmware, if needed, or reboot into the new BE that is created by the pkg update command.
Verify that you are running the correct ldm version.
```
# ldm -V
```
