When upgrading any of the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System applications, the new server on which you install the 6.0 application must meet the following requirements:
Operating System – The operating system on which you run the 6.0 application must be the same type of operating system on which you were running the 5.2 or 5.2 Update 2 application. For example, you can migrate a Master Server running on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3.0 to a Master Server running on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 4.0. You cannot migrate a Master Server running on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3.0 to a Master Server running on any version of the Solaris OS.
Hardware Architecture – The hardware architecture of the server on which you run the 6.0 application must be the same as the architecture on which you were running the 5.2 or 5.2 Update 2 application. For example, you can upgrade a Remote Agent from a SPARC based server running on the Solaris OS to another SPARC based server running on the Solaris OS. You cannot upgrade a Remote Agent from a SPARC based server running on the Solaris OS to an x86 based server running on the Solaris OS.
User Ownership of Application – The 6.0 application must be owned by the same user that owns the 5.2 or 5.2 Update 2 application. For example, if you installed the 5.2 Update 2 Master Server and assigned ownership to user foo, then the 6.0 Master Server must have user foo assigned as its owner.
