Christian,

something went wrong here - when you upgrade an array, the basic procedure is to break the array, which in your case, would leave you with two "primaries" - the original primary would have a copy of all of your license key(s), ENS objects, etc. The orphaned secondary (now primary), will also have a copy of all the ENS objects, and will likely be in "evaluation/expired" mode, that is, no license keys.

You then upgrade each server, and then re-build the array, using the original primary as the primary. This should retain all of your license keys, ENS objects, etc. I can't really imagine what went wrong - if it backed up your ENS, the installer knew to perform an upgrade operation, not a fresh install. All I can think of is that when you rebuilt your array, you might've used your previous secondary as the primary, which would've lost/over-written your license keys. But all your ENS objects should still be there - kind of the whole point of an upgrade / patch installation is that it preserve all of your system setup, at least to the extent possible. You should have a setup.log and a tta.2_postinstall.log - anything, well, "unusual" in there? Any errors or complaints?

Christian,

The ens objects should be backed up and then "upgraded" (only if necessary).
Also the license key should be maintained as well. How many servers do you
have
in your array? What was the version of SGD before the upgrade? What OS are
you
using?

We only have two solaris 10 servers in the array. They were previously running SGD 4.3, now 4.31. The /opt/tarantella/var/ens directory was "backed up" during the upgrade process by moving it out of the way. I'd like to know how I am supposed to import the objects created in 4.3 into 4.31. If every minor version jump requires me to re-add license keys all over again and all applications and users into the objectmananger by hand I guess I'll stick with 4.31 for as long as possible.

Thanks,
Christian McHugh
