Upgrade From Solaris 8 Using the Installation CD Fails (4313749)

When you upgrade a system from the Solaris 8 operating environment to the Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment using the Solaris 8 Installation CD, the upgrade fails. The upgrade appears to proceed correctly, but the Installation Details screen indicates that the Solaris 8 software component did not install correctly. As a result of this failure, the system was not upgraded.

Workaround: Use the upgrade program on the Solaris 8 6/00 Software CD 1 of 2 to upgrade your system.
