Removing Previous Versions of the SunATM Software

Before installing the SunATM software, remove any previous version of the SunATM software from your system. If you attempt to add the new software packages over existing SunATM packages, the installation will fail.

To Remove Older SunATM Software Packages

1. Become superuser.

2. Use the pkginfo command to check for any installed SunATM software packages:

   # /usr/bin/pkginfo | grep SUNWatm

If you find any SunATM packages, you must remove them before installing the new SunATM software.

1. Remove any existing SunATM software packages by using the pkgrm command:

   # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWatm SUNWatma SUNWatmu

Removing Links to Older SunATM 1.0 Device Entries

When you remove older versions of the SunATM software with the pkgrm utility, certain device entries in the /dev and /devices directories will not be removed. If you are installing the SunATM 5.1 software packages on a system in which a SunATM 1.0 SBus adapter had been installed, remove these device entries. The SunATM 1.0 hardware used the sa driver (which is not supported in the SunATM 5.1 software), and previous versions of the SunATM software created the /dev/sa and /devices/pseudo/clone@0:sa device entries.

1. To remove these SunATM 1.0 device entries, type:

   # rm /dev/sa # rm /devices/pseudo/clone@0:sa
