Installation Bugs That May Occur During an Upgrade

Upgrading the Solaris 7 Operating Environment With Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) 1.0 to the Solaris 8 Operating Environment Causes WBEM 2.0 to Not Work (4274920)

If you installed WBEM 1.0 from the Solaris Easy Access Server (SEAS) 3.0 CD-ROM on a system running the Solaris 7 operating environment, you must remove the WBEM 1.0 packages before upgrading to the Solaris 8 operating environment. The Solaris WBEM Services 2.0 do not start after upgrading the Solaris 7 operating environment with WBEM 1.0 to the Solaris 8 operating environment. The Common Information Model (CIM) Object Manager fails to start. The following error message is displayed: 
File not found: /opt/sadm/lib/wbem/cimom.jar

Workaround: Use the pkgrm command to remove the WBEM 1.0 packages before upgrading to the Solaris 8 operating environment:

  1. Use the pkginfo command to check if the WBEM 1.0 packages are installed by typing:
    % pkginfo | grep WBEM

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Use the pkgrm command to remove all WBEM 1.0 packages by typing:
    #      pkgrm SUNWwbapi
# pkgrm SUNWwbcor
# pkgrm SUNWwbdev
# pkgrm SUNWwbdoc
# pkgrm SUNWwbm

Disk Space Requirements Can Be Exaggerated by the Upgrade Process (4041733)

The upgrade program can exaggerate by as much as 30 percent the amount of space required for upgrades to systems with the Solaris software. Systems affected by this problem cannot be upgraded without deselecting packages or finding more space.

Workaround: You can manually reallocate disk space among file systems or use the Software Customization menu to remove software packages that are not needed.
