The general consensus is to do a fresh install if possible because : - it's faster. - you keep the hand on the entire process. - you avoid junk being left over by the upgrade procedure.

What do you recommend : - Upgrade Solaris 2.6 using Sun upgrade procedure (with LU or simply with the installation CD), then upgrade other software not supported under Solaris 8 ? - Make a fresh install on a new disk, then install all other software on it ? My fear is that Sun upgrade could leave unnecessary files in various directories or legacy config options (/etc/system or others). So I'm more confident with a clean fresh install, but I'm open to any advice. I will summarize. --- Sebastien DAUBIGNE sdaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com <mailto:sdaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com> - (+33)5.57.26.56.36 SchlumbergerSema - SGS/DWH/Pessac _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Mar 10 13:16:43 2003
