Operating Systems Solaris How to update Solaris 10 Update 3 to Update 11? Post 303037592 by hicksd8 on Wednesday 7th of August 2019 05:48:08 AM

My approach would be to ensure that you know how to restore the root partition easily if it goes wrong. Use fssnap followed by ufsdump to dump the snapshot. If you are in anyway unsure about how to restore then research that first.

As far as the actual upgrade is concerned I would download and burn the DVD installation media. Booting from that DVD ensure that the install procedure recognizes the existing installation and offers you the upgrade route. DO NOT allow it to proceed with a standard installation (overwriting the disk) if it happens to not recognize the existing OS.

If you hit problems with that post back here.
