Sun Management Center 3.6 Installation and Configuration Guide

Upgrading From Sun Management Center 2.1 or 2.1.1

If you want to migrate your Sun Management Center 2.x server data and use it with Sun Management Center 3.6, use the migration utility as described below.

If you do not want to migrate your Sun Management Center 2.x server data, you must uninstall Sun Management Center 2.x before you can install Sun Management Center 3.6. To uninstall Sun Management Center 2.x, follow the procedures in Uninstalling Sun Management Center 2.x.

Note –

If you want to migrate or upgrade your Sun Management Center 2.x agent to Sun Management Center 3.6, you do not need to run the migration utility. For agent upgrade procedures, see Creating Agent Installation and Update Images and Applying Agent Installation, Update, and Patch-Only Images.

ProcedureTo Upgrade From a Sun Management Center 2.x Server

Steps

  1. Log in as root on the machine where the Sun Management Center 2.x server is installed.

  2. Prepare the system for Sun Management Center 3.6 as described in Chapter 4, Preparing Systems for Sun Management Center Upgrade and Installation.

  3. Download the tar file sunmc_2x_server_upgrade.tar from http://www.sun.com/sunmanagementcenter/.

    1. Uncompress the tar file:


      # tar xvf sunmc_2x_server_upgrade.tar

    2. Read and follow the migration instructions in the file sunmc_2x_server_upgrade_README.txt.

      The migration utility saves your Sun Management Center 2.x data in the directory /var/opt/SUNWsymon/2x.

  4. Uninstall the Sun Management Center 2.x software.

    Type the command /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-uninst and press Return.

    Caution – Caution –

    Do not delete the Sun Management Center 2.x directories. The Sun Management Center 2.x uninstall process removes the Sun Management Center 2.x software, but does not remove the Sun Management Center 2.x data.

  5. Upgrade the Solaris operating environment if necessary.

    If you are upgrading the Sun Management Center 2.x server, the machine must be running either the Solaris version 8 or Solaris version 9 developer environment. For additional information, see Prerequisite Packages

    Caution – Caution –

    If you need to upgrade to Solaris version 8 or Solaris version 9, make sure you perform a Solaris upgrade. A fresh Solaris installation reformats the hard drive, which deletes your Sun Management Center 2.x configuration data. If you perform a fresh Solaris installation, you will not be able to migrate your Sun Management Center 2.x configuration data to Sun Management Center 3.6.

    1. Back up the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/2x directory and subdirectories to a different machine or backup device.

    2. Upgrade the Solaris operating environment.

      Refer to your Solaris documentation for procedures.

    3. If necessary, restore the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/2x directory and subdirectories to the machine.

  6. Install Sun Management Center 3.6.

    Use either the Sun Management Center 3.6 graphical user interface command es-guiinst or the command-line script es-inst to install Sun Management Center 3.6.

    You will be notified that the exported Sun Management Center 2.x data has been detected, and that the data will be migrated to the new release.
