Hi everyone,

I've obtained a Solaris 10 pack. Couldn't use the DVD since my Ultra 10 only
has a normal CD-ROM drive, so tried using the first of the four OS CD's.

The process went well as the existing Sol 9 installation was analysed for
the upgrade but when I selected 'upgrade', and the next step in the process
started, the install aborted saying that a utility program it needed wasn't
found.

I'll need to run the install on a test-machine to see just what the problem
is in exact detail, but it made me a little unsure and until I've worked out
what happened and how to fix it the machine won't be upgraded.

Has anyone else had a similar problem trying to upgrade from Solaris 9 to 10
on an Ultrasparc-II system using the CD's instead of the DVD?

Regards,

Craig.

I did an upgrade install on my Blade-150 from CDs, which worked fine but
took forever. I did an initial install on my Ultra-2 from CDs, which
worked fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try running an upgrade again tonight starting
with the 1 of 4 Solaris 10 CD to get exact info on what happens when the
problem shows up (if indeed it does - might have just been a once-off glitch
in the way the upgrade was being staged).

Regards,

Craig.
