SPARC: Upgrading with Solaris Live Upgrade From
Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Releases Fails (6638175)
Upgrading to the Solaris 10 10/09 release using Solaris Live Upgrade, from the previous Solaris
8 and Solaris 9 releases fails. The install images compression le is now unzipped by using the
7za utility. The SUNWp7zip package is not included in the Solaris 8 and 9 releases. As a result,
Solaris Live Upgrade fails.
Workaround: To upgrade your system to the Solaris 10 10/09 release using Solaris Live
Upgrade from the previous Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 releases, perform the steps listed under
“Solaris Live Upgrade Restrictions” on page 19.
Issues With DSR UpgradeWith Zones (6616788)
Disk space reallocation (DSR) upgrade with zones fails if zones are installed in the /opt
directory. Upgrade might fail during the restoration of the DSR archive. In some cases, the
upgrade might be successful, but the system cannot be rebooted.
Workaround: Ensure that the root le system is not 100% full before upgrade. Remove some
les before upgrade so that the root slice is less than 90% full.
Solaris Trusted Extensions Upgrade Issues (6616585)
When you upgrade Solaris Trusted Extensions from the Solaris 10 11/06 or Solaris 10 8/07
release to the Solaris 10 10/08, Solaris 10 5/09 release or the current Solaris 10 10/09 release,
unwanted localized Solaris Trusted Extensions packages are installed on your system. This bug
occurs because the Solaris Trusted Extensions installer in theSolaris 10 11/06 or Solaris 10 8/07
releases installs localized packages by default. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Before upgrading Solaris Trusted Extensions to the current release, remove the
following localized Solaris Trusted Extensions packages:
SUNWjdtts SUNWkdtts
SUNWjmgts SUNWkmgts
SUNWjtsman SUNWktsu
SUNWjtsu SUNWodtts
SUNWtgnome-l10n-doc-ja SUNWtgnome-l10n-ui-ko
SUNWtgnome-l10n-ui-it SUNWtgnome-l10n-ui-zhHK
