Preparing to Upgrade

The following sections describe how to prepare both locally administered and remotely administered machines for upgrading.

If you want to use the command line, be aware that some commands and some arguments have been removed or added since SunScreen EFS 1.1, 2.0, and SunScreen SPF200. Check the man pages and the SunScreen 3.1 Reference Manual.

Before proceeding, verify that all the software packages required for your operating environment are installed.

SunScreen 3.1 runs on Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8 operating environments for SPARC and Intel platforms. It also runs on Trusted Solaris 7 for the SPARC platform. If you are running Solaris 2.5.1, or earlier, you must upgrade your operating environment to at least Solaris 2.6.

In addition to the Solaris Core system support packages, there are additional Solaris packages required prior to installing SunScreen.

Do not reinstall the Solaris Core system support software group if you are upgrading from SunScreen EFS 1.1, 2.0, or 3.0 to SunScreen 3.1.

1. Add the following packages to the Screen from your Solaris CD, if not already on your system:

   If you plan on using the administration GUI on your Screen itself, you will need to install the End User distribution of Solaris, as well as the packages listed in this section.
