Sun Management Center 4.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

Upgrading the Server

If you have a Sun Management Center 3.6.1 server installation on Solaris 10 11/06, you can upgrade using either one of the following methods.

Note –

These methods do not apply to the Solaris 8, 9, and Solaris 10 1/06 and Solaris 10 6/06 server layer installations. Sun Management Center 4.0 server layer is available only on Solaris 10 11/06 and higher versions.

Run the Sun Management Center 4.0 graphical user interface installation command es-guiinst.
Run the Sun Management Center 4.0 command-line installation script es-inst.

If you have a Sun Management Center 3.6.x server installation on a Solaris version that is earlier than Solaris 10 11/06, do the following:

Uninstall Sun Management Center 3.6.x and save the configuration data.
Upgrade the operating system to Solaris 10 11/06 or Solaris 10 8/07. Follow the server migration procedure described in http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/solaris9/sunmc_datamigration.pdf to move the data to a Solaris 10 11/06 SPARC or x86 system.

The Sun Management Center 4.0 installation process detects the existing 3.6.x installation and runs the Sun Management Center 3.6.x es-uninst command-line script. The Sun Management Center es-uninst script gives you the option to save your Sun Management Center 3.6.x data.

If you save the Sun Management Center 3.6.x data, the Sun Management Center 4.0 setup process detects the saved data and gives you the option to migrate the data to Sun Management Center 4.0.

To Upgrade From Version 3.6.1 to 4.0

Run es-inst from the 4.0 source image.

The uninstallation wizard is launched. The uninstallation script uninstalls Sun Management Center 3.6.1 and asks whether you want to preserve the data.

Type y to preserve the data.

After uninstallation of the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 components, the new packages for 4.0 are installed. The installer takes you to the setup. The setup process detects the preserved data and asks whether you want to migrate the data.

Type y to migrate the data.

The upgrade procedure is complete.
