If you are upgrading from an existing version of the Solaris operating environment and have installed unbundled products, either from Sun or from a different company, you must ensure that all those products are supported on the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment prior to upgrading. Depending on the status of each unbundled product, you have three options for each unbundled product:
Verify that the existing version of the unbundled product is supported on the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment.
Acquire and install a new version of the unbundled product which is supported on the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment. Note that in this case you may need to remove the previous version of the unbundled product prior to upgrading to the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment. See the unbundled product documentation for more details.
Remove the unbundled product prior to upgrading to the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment.
For additional information contact the supplier of the unbundled product or your service provider or go to:
