I'm looking for tips on migrating from 9 to 10. Yesterday, I tried to
upgrade an Ultra-60, but it would not allow it. The system had
developed some problem and we had been planning to migrate to 10
anyways. So, I did an initial install instead. But, I was happily
surprised that it somehow managed to remember my settings for the NIS
server. Of course, there were alot of things that
it did not remember. Here are 2 things that I needed to change:
1. NFS mounts
a. the remote mounts in /etc/vfstab had to be re-added
b. the NFS client had to be started at boot
i. could not find nfs.client so I took it from Solaris 9
/etc/init.d/nfs.client
ii. copy it to /etc/rc0.d/K41nfs.client (same as Solaris 9)
iii. and also to /etc/rc2.d/S73nfs.client (same as Solaris 9)
2. remote X11 display always refused
a. use command svccfg
b. select application/x11/x11-server
c. setprop options/tcp_listen=true
Unfortunately, it took me all day today to "discover" these. And, for
#1, I cheated; I just grabbed the files that I needed from Solaris 9,
but I doubt this would work all of the time; it certainly would not
for #2. Is there
a list of tips somewhere? I tried 2 book stores, but all they had
was Solaris 10 Internals. While I'm sure that would be a very
interesting read, I doubt it would help me set up my system.
Thanks,
Rodney
