smsversion(1M) can be used to switch between two co-installed (and consecutively released) versions of SMS.
smsversion, when invoked with no command-line argument, displays the list of all properly installed versions of SMS on the current system controller. You can pick from that list and smsversion stores a copy of the current configuration environment and then switches all necessary software links needed to activate the new version of the software. smsversion can run with an optional command-line argument specifying the target version for switching.
Once smsversion completes the switch, the target version becomes the active version. To restore the configuration automatically saved by smsversion you must use smsrestore(1M). Your previous configuration is not automatically restored as part of the version switch.
To restore your previous configuration:
- Turn off failover and stop SMS before running smsrestore.
- Run smsrestore. Note If you changed your network configuration using smsconfig
-m after you created the backup you just restored, you must run smsconfig
-m and reboot now.
- Otherwise, you can start SMS and turn on failover. For information on manually starting and stopping SMS refer to the System Management Services (SMS) 1.2 Installation Guide and Release Notes for the Sun Fire 15K/12 Systems.
If any errors occur, smsversion writes error messages to /var/sadm/system/logs/smsversion.
