I *uinstalled* SS 11, but get the same error as before during the 
upgrade. How can I check if SS11 has been uninstalled correctly?

Here's the contents of /tmp/upgrade_space_required.

Mount Point   Slice Current Size  Min suggested
---
/ /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 8161020 8256360

/export/home  /dev/dsk/c0d0s7 33142095866656

Thanks,
Jyothi

I was able to upgrade to 5/07 successfully after a correct uninstall of 
SS11 .

Thanks,
Jyothi

 Jyothi,

 When you did your initial install, did you select "Solaris Express,
 Developer Edition" or "Solaris Express"?  If you selected "Solaris 
 Express,
 Developer Edition", the need for DSR might be because the installer is
 trying to size / to now include all of the Chinese and Japanese 
 packages,
 due to 6562945.

 So, what is the total disk space that you have on this system?
 If you have an adjacent partition with space which can be used 
 for Solaris, then you can use gparted CD to resize Solaris 
 partition and then do the upgrade.

 But, it is better to take a backup of important data before 
 trying out anything.

 Hi,

 I am upgrading my Toshiba m5 from b62 to b64a(5/07). I 
 initally
 did not choose any backup media during the upgrade process.
 After the "Testing upgrade profile" , I got the following 
 error
 message:

 "Disk space reallocation is required. Please go back and 
 select a
 valid backup media."

 I chose "local disk" as the backup media. I am unsure about 
 the
 path to specify for the backup.
 What is the recommended path and why do I get the disk space
 error message  ?

 Thanks.
 Jyothi
