Netra j 3.0 Installation Guide

Upgrade Paths

There are two possible upgrade paths: upgrade to Netra j 3.0 and Solaris 2.6, or upgrade to Netra j 3.0 without a Solaris upgrade.

Note -

Before upgrade, fill out the "Network Computer Configuration Form ". After upgrade, refer to "Installation and Upgrade Notes" for further information.

To Upgrade to Netra j 3.0 and Solaris 2.6

  1. If your Netra server hardware includes a diskette drive, insert a blank formatted diskette into the drive.

  2. As superuser, open a shell window and change to the Tools directory.

    • If you downloaded the Netra j 3.0 software from the Web, type: 

      # cd /download_directory/Tools

    • If you are installing the software from the Netra j 3.0 CD, type: 

      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Tools

  3. Use the save script to save the existing Netra configuration. 

    # ./netra_save

    Note -

    If your Netra server does not have a diskette drive, the Netra configuration is saved to the local file system. You must copy the /var/tmp/netra/netraj3_0.tar file to tape or to a remote machine on the local area network.

  4. Perform a backup of all file systems not related to the Netra software. This includes any web pages created as part of an HTML document hierarchy.

    You can use the File System Backup and Restore module of the Netra administration interface to back up the file systems, if a tape drive is connected to the Netra server.

  5. Install Solaris 2.6 from the Solaris 2.6 CD.

    Follow the instructions in the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide, which is included with the Solaris 2.6 CD.

  6. Install the Netra j 3.0 software. 

    # ./netra_install

    For users in non-English locales, the installation script asks what locale to install. Select the most appropriate locale.

  7. If you copied the /var/tmp/netra/netraj3_0.tar file to tape or to a remote machine in Step 3, copy the file back to the Netra server file system.

  8. Restore the Netra configuration. 

    # ./netra_restore

  9. Refer to "Installation and Upgrade Notes", then return to here.

  10. Restore the file systems you previously backed up.

    You can use the File System Backup and Restore module of the Netra j 3.0 administration interface to restore the file systems, if a tape drive is connected to the Netra j 3.0 server.

To Upgrade to Netra j 3.0 Without Upgrading Solaris

  1. As superuser, open a shell window and change to the Tools directory.

    • If you downloaded the Netra j 3.0 software from the Web, type: 

      # cd /download_directory/Tools

    • If you are installing the software from the Netra j 3.0 CD, type: 

      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Tools

  2. Use the upgrade script to save the Netra configuration, remove the existing Netra software, install Netra j 3.0, and restore the Netra configuration. 

    # ./netra_upgrade

    For users in non-English locales, the upgrade script asks what locale to install. Select the most appropriate locale.
