Upgrading the OS Provisioning Plug-In

To upgrade to the OS Provisioning Plug-in 3.1, you perform the following tasks.

For instructions about how to upgrade from the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1, see How to Upgrade the OS Provisioning Plug-In.

For information about how to upgrade from the OS Provisioning Plug-In 2.0 to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1, see Upgrading From the OS Provisioning Plug-In 2.0.

ProcedureHow to Upgrade the OS Provisioning Plug-In

To upgrade the OS provisioning plug-in from version 3.0 to version 3.1, follow these steps:

Steps

  1. Upgrade the N1 SPS software to version 5.2.1, as explained in Chapter 10, Upgrading to the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2, in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 Installation Guide.

  2. Acquire and import the com.sun.n1osp_3.0_3.1.jar file.

    For instructions about how to install the OS Provisioning Plug-In, see Installing the OS Provisioning Plug-In.

  3. Upgrade the OS provisioning (control) server.

    You must use the OS provisioning plug-in 3.1 software to recreate any existing OS provisioning servers. See Creating the OS Provisioning Server

  4. If you are using a RedHat Linux boot and install server, remove the SUNWjetspsra-4.2.0-1, SUNWjet-4.2-1 and JetSUSE-4.2-RPMRELEASE RPM files from this server.


    # rpm -e SUNWjetspsra
# rpm -e SUNWjet
# rpm -e JetSUSE

  5. Upgrade the OS image servers in your environment.

    You must use the OS provisioning plug-in 3.1 software to recreate any existing OS image servers.

    Note –

    When you recreate the boot and install servers, you must use the value that you used previously for the installPath variable. If the previous installPath variable value is no longer valid, you must create a new boot and install server with the valid installPath variable value.

  6. Change the variable for the remote agent in any existing OS profiles.

    The product_version_spsra variable in the profile must reflect the current N1 SPS RA software version. Edit any existing profiles and change the value of the product_version_spsra variable to 5.2. For more information about this variable, see Component Variables for Solaris Remote Agents.

Upgrading From the OS Provisioning Plug-In 2.0

If you want to upgrade from the OS Provisioning Plug-In 2.0 to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1, you must upgrade sequentially to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0, then to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1. The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to upgrade from the OS Provisioning Plug-In 2.0 to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1

  1. Upgrade from the OS Provisioning Plug-In 2.0 to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0.

    To upgrade to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0, you perform four separate tasks.

    1. Acquire the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 package.

      The OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 package is available for download at the Sun Download Center.

    2. Add the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 package to your master server.

      Follow the instructions in Adding the OS Provisioning Plug-In for Solaris to add the package to your system. Substitute the name of the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 package (for example, sun-spsosp-3.0-1.noarch.rpm for Linux systems) for the package name in the appropriate procedure.

    3. Import the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 in your N1 SPS environment.

      Follow the instructions in Adding the OS Provisioning Plug-In to N1 SPS to import the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 JAR file. Substitute the name of the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 JAR file (com.sun.n1osp_2.0_3.0.jar) for the JAR file name in this procedure.

    4. Upgrade the OS provisioning server and OS image servers.

      For information about how to upgrade these OS provisioning systems, see How to Upgrade the OS Provisioning Plug-In.

  2. Upgrade from the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.0 to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1.

    To upgrade to the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1, you perform four separate tasks.

    1. Acquire the OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1 package.
