Upgrading from OpenSolaris Preview 2 to OpenSolaris 2008.05If you have the OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2 release installed on your system, you can either replace Preview 2 with the new OpenSolaris 2008.05 release, or you can use a script to upgrade the OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2 release to the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release. The script to update the Preview 2 release can be dowloaded at: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/update_guidelines/indiana-upgrade.sh. A minimum of 2 free Gbytes in your root pool is required to upgrade successfully. Execute this script either with the pfexec command or as root. The script takes a snapshot and makes a clone of the current root(/) and opt file systems. Then, the script updates the clones to the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release. The script also adds the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release as default on the GRUB boot menu. Caution - While this script has received significant testing and does not destroy any existing file systems, back up any irreplaceable data before performing this procedure. Note - You cannot upgrade the OpenSolaris Preview 1 release to the OpenSolaris 2008.05 release. We recommend a fresh install of any machine which was initially installed with Preview 1. |
