In preparation for moving a Solaris 8 system to Solaris 10 I need to
upgrade both Veritas Volume Manager and Veritas Volume Manager.
I'm presently running version 3.5 and am planning to move to 5.0 as 3.5
is not supported under Solaris 10.
None of the OS-related file systems (root, usr, var,) are part of VM nor
are disks containing these file systems defined to VM.
All the volumes are part of rootdg.
I spoke with a Veritas support rep. who advised the best approach would
be to save the current configuration information (via vxprint) to a
file, reboot the system to single user forcing VM not to load, remove
all the Veritas related packages, upgrade the OS and then install the
new version of Volume Manager & File System. Purportedly when VM starts
up again it'll import the volume configuration information.
Before taking this approach have others upgraded Veritas to newer
versions where the root drive/filesystem is not part of VM and can
either comment on the above or recommend alternate approaches. Thanks.
