What to Do After Upgrading

After the system finishes upgrading, the installation program leaves it at the superuser prompt in single-user mode.

1. Clean up the system if necessary.

   When you use the upgrade option, the Solaris installation program merges local software modifications of the existing system with the new software; however, in some cases, the merge is not possible. Refer to the following file to see if you need to fix any of the local modifications that the upgrade could not preserve:

   /a/var/sadm/system/data/upgrade_cleanup

   ---

   Caution -

   Make sure you look at all the information in the upgrade_cleanup file. Your system may not boot if you fail to fix the unpreserved local modifications.

2. Reboot the system.

   # reboot

3. If you upgraded an OS server, upgrade clients with different platforms and platform groups.

   If you've upgraded a heterogeneous OS server, clients of that server are automatically upgraded only if their platform (x86 or SPARC) and platform group (for example, sun4m or i386) is supported by the Solaris CD. For example, if you upgrade a SPARC server using the SPARC Solaris CD, only SPARC clients that share the platform group on the CD are upgraded.

   To upgrade clients with different platforms and platform groups, you must use the server_upgrade command. See the server_upgrade(1M) man page for more instructions.
