I did a Live Upgrade on a Sun Ray server running Solaris 10 8/07 to
bring it up to Solaris 10 5/08. This was an X4100 with Sun Ray server
4.0. To begin, I created an alternate boot environment this way:
# lucreate -c firstlu -m /:c0t2d0s5:ufs -m /var:c0t2d0s7:ufs -n secndlu
Then, I upgraded it this way:
# luupgrade -u -n secndlu -s /net/SERVER/jump/S10_up508_x86_cd
The file /var/sadm/system/data/upgrade_cleanup on the alternate boot
environment lists files that need to be reviewed before activating
that BE. I was surprised to see these files listed:
/usr/dt/config/Xreset: existing file renamed to /usr/dt/config/Xreset~10
/usr/dt/config/Xsetup: existing file renamed to /usr/dt/config/Xsetup~10
/usr/dt/config/Xstartup: existing file renamed to /usr/dt/config/Xstartup~10
/usr/dt/config/sessionetc: existing file renamed to
/usr/dt/config/sessionetc~10
/a/etc/pam.conf default entries updated, please examine/update customized
entries
/a/etc/pam.conf updating pam_unix with default PAM entries please
examine/update any new entries
/a/etc/pam.conf updating entries to add kerberos, please examine/update any
new entries
The /etc/pam.conf file seemed to be correct, but the four files in
/usr/dt/config had reverted to their original form, with all of the
SUNWut sections removed. I had to rename them back to retain the Sun
Ray server changes. After this, I activated the new BE and rebooted
the server. Sun Ray services seemed to work normally afterwards.
I was pleased to see the new features of Solaris 10 5/08, including
Staroffice 8.
I'm concerned that Sun Ray server software is not well integrated with
the Solaris package and patch system, so that Live Upgrade doesn't
work in a more reliable manner. Manual changes should only be
necessary where the sysadmin has changed configuration files, not
where Sun-supplied software has done it. Can this situation be
improved?
