Upgrading from Solstice SyMON 1.x and Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.x Software

If you are upgrading from Sun Enterprise SyMON 1.x or Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.x, you must first upgrade to Sun Management Center 2.1 or Sun Management Center 2.1.1 before you can upgrade to Sun Management Center 3.5. For upgrade procedures, see Upgrading from Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.x to Sun Management Center 2.1 Software in the Sun Management Center 2.1 Software User's Guide.

If you have modified SyMON 1.x or 2.x rules, back up the rules before you install Sun Management Center 3.5. The 3.5 installation and setup process could overwrite your SyMON 1.x or 2.x files. Depending on where you modified your event rules, back up the /etc/opt/SUNWsymon directory, the /opt/SUNWsymon/etc directory, or both directories.

When you have completed the upgrade to Sun Management Center 2.1 or Sun Management Center 2.1.1, follow the procedures in Upgrading From Sun Management Center 2.1 or 2.1.1 to upgrade to Sun Management Center 3.5.

The coexistence of the Solstice SyMON 1.x or Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.x software with Sun Management Center 3.5 software is not supported on the same server. In addition, you may have Sun Management Center sessions running on different servers or server contexts. For more information on server context, see “Sun Management Center Architecture” in Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide.
