Hi,
The search engine for the list archive is down, otherwise I'd look there
before posting this.
I have an E450 that I am going to upgrade from Solaris 6 to Solaris 8.
It is a server for Lawson ERP with an Informix vers 7 back end.
If I had my way, I'd simply do a fresh install......Wipe the disk and start
fresh.
But my bosses would rather I do an upgrade from 6 to 8 than a fresh install.
Are there any issues that I should be aware of.
Maybe there are some key files or libraries that don't get overwritten when
they should, or vice versa.
I know I've got the minimum hardware requirements.
I've never really done upgrades, I've tried a couple, but had some wierd
binary related issues crop up.
I've always started fresh, Wipe the disk, throw on the new O/S, and go from
there.
And I've never done an upgrade where I've jumped a couple levels in software
like I'm doing here.
I just wanna know of any gothcha's or any other issues that may occur.
Thanks,
Rich
