Upgrade Fails if /export Directory Is Near Capacity
(4409601)
If the /export directory is near full capacity when you upgrade to the Solaris 10 release, space
requirements for /export are miscalculated. The upgrade then fails. This problem commonly
occurs if a diskless client is installed. Another instance of when the problem occurs is when
third-party software is installed in the /export directory. The following message is displayed:
WARNING: Insufficient space for the upgrade.
Workaround: Before you upgrade, choose one of the following workarounds:
■
Rename the /export directory temporarily, until the upgrade is completed.
■
Temporarily comment out the /export line in the /etc/vfstab le until the upgrade is
completed.
■
If /export is a separate le system, then unmount /export before you perform the upgrade.
Upgrading Diskless Client Servers and Clients
(4363078)
If your system currently supports diskless clients that were installed with the Solstice
AdminSuite 2.3 Diskless Client tool, you must perform the following two steps:
1. Delete all existing diskless clients that are the same Solaris version and architecture as the
server.
2. Install or upgrade to the Solaris 10 release.
For specic instructions, see the
System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
If you attempt to install the Solaris 10 software over existing diskless clients, the following error
message might be displayed:
The Solaris Version (Solaris version-number) on slice
<xxxxxxxx> cannot
be upgraded.
There is an unknown problem with the software configuration installed
on this disk.
In this error message, version-number refers to the Solaris version that is currently running on
your system. <xxxxxxxx> refers to the slice that is running this version of the Solaris software.
