Hi All
I am planning to upgrade our sunray server from 1.2 to 2.0. It is currently running 1.2 on Solaris 7. I am planning to upgrade the OS from 7 to 9 first. And then I want to (upgrade?) put srss 2.0 on it.
Sounds like a great ide.
I am a conservative guy that like to know exactly what is going on and I always prefer to not upgrade, instead I prefer to do a fresh install in the order that you suggested.
Has anyone done this before? Is there any watchout? I am using E4500 as my sunray server
Thanks for any help/suggestion
The advantage of not upgrading is that a upgrade is supposed to not break things, so if anything new has been added such as a config file the problem is to know what can be done and how the new file is suppsed to look since the install will keep the old function of the function.
On the otherside, a fresh install in a less good miantained machine will make the way back to a working system longer but after that is done you know exactly what is installed and not.
The same goes for both SRSS and Solaris.
In the Solaris 9 of today you can do an upgrade of a live system that will preform the new install on a unused partion/disk and once that is done you can reboot and have the newsystem running directly from the new partion/disk so you will have almost no downtime exept for the reboot quite cool!
Also make sure that you get the latest 9 04/03 which has the new USB framework amoung other things.
