Thanks for the tips Vishal - I'll be giving it a go tomorrow so will let you know how I get on.

I have already removed the packages, re-installed and patched up to a level recommended by Oracle in a support call I logged with them.

Will certainly bear in mind the auto-reg tip.

Many thanks
Paul

I tried the upgrade earlier and got the following:

Code:

 
# luupgrade -n current_be -u -s /mnt/Sol10_910 -k /tmp/sysidcfg
ERROR: The media is not recognized installation media </mnt/Sol10_910>.

Should I have created contents of the zip file as an ISO, put it on a DVD, used lofiadm and then mounted like I've seen in a lot of places?
