This section provides procedures to upgrade Sun Management Center software.

SPARC: How to Upgrade Sun Management Center Software

Perform the following steps to upgrade from Sun Management Center 3.6 or 3.6.1 software to Sun Management Center 3.6.1 or 4.0 software.

Before You Begin

Have available the following items:

Oracle Solaris Cluster installation DVD-ROM for the SPARC platform and, if applicable, for the x86 platform, or the paths to the DVD-ROM images. You use the DVD-ROM to reinstall the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 version of the Oracle Solaris Cluster module packages after you upgrade Sun Management Center software.

Note - The agent packages to install on the cluster nodes are available for both SPARC based systems and x86 based systems. The package for the server machine is available for SPARC based systems only.
Sun Management Center documentation.
Sun Management Center patches and Oracle Solaris Cluster module patches, if any.

See Patches and Required Firmware Levels in the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

Stop any Sun Management Center processes.
1. If the Sun Management Center console is running, exit the console.
  In the console window, choose File⇒Exit.
2. On each Sun Management Center agent machine (cluster node), stop the Sun Management Center agent process.
```
phys-schost# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -a
```
3. On the Sun Management Center server machine, stop the Sun Management Center server process.
```
server# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -S
```
As superuser, remove Oracle Solaris Cluster–module packages.
Use the pkgrm(1M) command to remove all Oracle Solaris Cluster module packages from all locations that are listed in the following table.

Location

Module Package to Remove

Each cluster node

SUNWscsam, SUNWscsal

Sun Management Center console machine

SUNWscscn

Sun Management Center server machine

SUNWscssv, SUNWscshl
```
machine# pkgrm module-package
```
If you do not remove the listed packages, the Sun Management Center software upgrade might fail because of package dependency problems. You reinstall these packages in Step 4, after you upgrade Sun Management Center software.
Upgrade the Sun Management Center software.
Follow the upgrade procedures in your Sun Management Center documentation.
As superuser, reinstall Oracle Solaris Cluster module packages from the installation DVD-ROM to the locations that are listed in the following table.

Location

Module Package to Install

Each cluster node

SUNWscsam, SUNWscsal

Sun Management Center server machine

SUNWscssv
1. Insert the installation DVD-ROM for the appropriate platform in the DVD-ROM drive of the machine.
2. Change to the /Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ directory, where arch is sparc or x86, and ver is 10 for Oracle Solaris 10.
```
machine# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/
```
  Note - The agent packages to install on the cluster nodes are available for both SPARC based systems and x86 based systems. The package for the server machine is available for SPARC based systems only.
3. Install the appropriate module package on the machine.
  - For cluster nodes, use the following command:
```
phys-schost# pkgadd -G -d . 
module-package
```
    The -G option adds packages to the current zone only. You must add these packages only to the global zone. Therefore, this option also specifies that the packages are not propagated to any existing non-global zone or to any non-global zone that is created later.
  - SPARC: For the server machine, use the following command:
```
phys-schost# pkgadd -d . module-package
```
Apply any Sun Management Center patches and any Oracle Solaris Cluster module patches to each node of the cluster.
Restart Sun Management Center agent, server, and console processes.
Follow procedures in How to Start Sun Management Center in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
Load the Oracle Solaris Cluster module.
Follow procedures in How to Load the Oracle Solaris Cluster Module in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
If the Oracle Solaris Cluster module was previously loaded, unload the module and then reload it to clear all cached alarm definitions on the server. To unload the module, choose Unload Module from the Module menu on the console's Details window.
