Hi
I would like to know if and what installation files can be deleted on a sun solaris server.
From the listing below there are several files that I would like to delete in order to get some free space on the disk.
Is it safe to delete zip, gz and Z files files located in silent_install or will they be used e.g. during uninstall?
Does there exist any maintenance guide for Solaris giving guidelines in how to maintain solaris, do's and don't's?

Please use next time code tags for your code and data
Those come from unpacking patches. Save those files into a tarball, move the tarball somewhere else, compress it, then go back and delete those files.
You are only going to gain less than 1GB by doing this. If you are short of space on the system disk/partition be sure you do not have any user directories on there. If you do, move the whole directory tree out to another filesystem/parititon. And then either use usermod to change login directories or create symlinks on / for the directories you moved.
I want to migrate a solaris 10 os to solaris 11.4 zone.
I did this
a)Collect some data like id sysid,disks,ip,etc..on solaris10
OK
b)Create this file.cfg with this command on solaris 10
zonep2vchk -c > /migration/sol10.cfg
OK
c)Create the archive flash on Solaris10 (1 Reply)
