SPARC: Using Solaris Live Upgrade to Upgrade From Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 05/08 (or L

SunSolve doc. 250526: This article describes the process for using Solaris Live Upgrade to upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 05/08 or later releases. The Solaris 10 05/08 release media (and subsequent Updates) were compressed using a different utility than previous Solaris 10 releases, which all used bzip2 compression. To upgrade to Solaris 05/08 (or later Solaris releases) using Solaris LU, the live system (on which luupgrade is actually running), must have p7zip installed. p7zip was backported to Solaris 9 in patch format, but for Solaris 8 there is no similar patch available.

NAME

       suninstall - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       suninstall

DESCRIPTION

       install-solaris(1M) is now the preferred command for starting and restarting the Solaris Installation program. It should be used instead of
       suninstall. suninstall is symbolically linked to install-solaris.

       suninstall is a forms-based and graphical subsystem for installing the operating system.

       suninstall exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should only be invoked from there. Refer to the Solaris 10 Instal-
       lation Guide: Basic Installations for more details.

       suninstall allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. suninstall loads the software available on the installa-
       tion media. Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations for disk space requirements.

USAGE

       Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations for more information on the various menus and selections.
