Upgrading Diskless Client Servers and Clients (4363078)

If your system currently supports diskless clients that were installed with the Solstice AdminSuite^TM 2.3 Diskless Client tool, you must perform the following two steps:

1. Delete all existing diskless clients that are the same Solaris version and architecture as the server.

2. Install or upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/05 release.

For specific instructions, see the System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

If you attempt to install the Solaris 9 9/05 software over existing diskless clients, the following error message might be displayed:

The Solaris Version (Solaris version-number) on slice 
<xxxxxxxx> cannot 
be upgraded. 
There is an unknown problem with the software configuration installed 
on this disk.

In this error message, version-number refers to the Solaris version that is currently running on your system. <xxxxxxxx> refers to the slice that is running this version of the Solaris software.
