Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide

Upgrading the Server

You can upgrade the Sun Management Center 3.0 server to the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 using any of the following methods.

The Sun Management Center 3.6.1 installation process detects the existing 3.0 installation and runs the Sun Management Center 3.0 es-uninst command-line script. The Sun Management Center es-uninst script gives you the option to save your Sun Management Center 3.0 data.

After you have installed Sun Management Center 3.6.1, if you saved your Sun Management Center 3.0 data the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 setup process detects the saved Sun Management Center 3.0 data and gives you the option to migrate the data to Sun Management Center 3.6.1.

ProcedureTo Upgrade From Sun Management Center 3.0

Note –

This procedure assumes that you installed Sun Management Center server in the default directory /opt. If you installed Sun Management Center in a different directory, substitute /opt with the name of the directory you specified.

Steps

  1. Log in as root on the machine where the Sun Management Center 3.0 server is installed.

  2. Stop Sun Management Center processes.

    Type the command es-stop -A. Wait until all Sun Management Center processes have been stopped.

  3. Prepare the system for Sun Management Center 3.6.1 as described in Chapter 4, Preparing Systems for Sun Management Center Upgrade and Installation.

  4. Upgrade the Solaris operating environment if necessary.

    If you are upgrading the Sun Management Center 3.0 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 3.0 configuration data. If you perform a fresh Solaris installation, you will not be able to migrate your Sun Management Center 3.0 configuration data to Sun Management Center 3.6.1.

    1. Back up all Sun Management Center 3.0 directories.

      Tip –

      Use ufsdump to back up the Sun Management Center 3.0 directories to a different machine or backup device. usfdump preserves symbolic links.

      Sun Management Center 3.0 software is installed by default in /opt/SUNWsymon, /var/opt/SUNWsymon, and /etc/opt/SUNWsymon directories.

      • If Sun Management Center 3.0 software has been installed to non-default locations, examine the Sun Management Center 3.0 installation logs in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install to determine where Sun Management Center 3.0 software has been installed.

      • If /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install does not contain the installation logs, or if /var/opt/SUNWsymon does not exist, you must determine where the Sun Management Center 3.0 software has been installed.

        Sun Management Center software is installed as install-path/SUNWsymon, where install-path is the parent directory hierarchy.

        For example, the Sun Management Center 3.0 core software could be installed in /export/applications/SUNWsymon. In this example, /export/applications is the install-path.

      To determine where the Sun Management Center 3.0 software has been installed, search for all SUNWsymon directories on the system as follows:

      1. Type the command pkgparam SUNWescom BASEDIR to determine the Sun Management Center 3.0 base directory. For example:


        # pkgparam SUNWescom BASEDIR
/system/opt

      2. Type the command find / -name "SUNWsymon" -print to locate the Sun Management Center configuration directories.

    2. Upgrade the Solaris operating environment.

      Refer to your Solaris documentation for procedures.

    3. If necessary, restore the Sun Management Center 3.0 directories to the machine.

  5. Upgrade the Sun Management Center 3.0 server to Sun Management Center 3.6.1 using any one of the following methods.
