Although I had carry out the steps very carefully and taken the precautions
those managers had advised, the upgrade was unsucessful.
I had verify on the upgrade log and found no errors. When I boot
from the internal disk, it always gave me "cannot load
se module" and system panic. When I boot cdrom -sw,
I faced another problem. It took 10 mins to bootup to single
user with error "disabled wide scsi" (a diskpack is connected to
my system). I got no choice but have to restore my OS from my backup
tapes. The reason I'm doing upgrade instead of reinstall Solaris 7
is bec my users do not want to reconfigure their applications.
I'll try to do a upgrade sometime next weeks again. Anybody have any
pointer why I'm getting those error?? Thanks.

Dear Sun Managers,
Currently, I've an Ultra-1 with the following configurations:
[1] Openboot prompt : 3.5.0
[2] Internal h/d : 2.1G with Solaris 2.6
[3] System is running X.25
[4] Multi-diskpacks attached
I'm going to do an upgrade of OS to Solaris 7 (I'll select upgrade during
installation). I'll do a full backup b/4 I upgrade it.
However, I've some doubts to clarify and hope someone out there
can help me asap.
My df -k output shows as:
avail mount point
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 ....... 128600 /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 ....... 219131 /usr
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 ....... 89450 /var
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 ....... 387305 /DATA
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 ....... 223413 /opt
swap ....... 288800 /swap
Questions:
[1] What I intend to do is vi /etc/vfstab and comment out
/DATA before starting the upgrade. Is it necessary??
[2] According to the document, openboot prompt needs at least
3.11.0 to support 64-bits. Can I don't upgrade the flash prompt
and just run 32-bits? If not, how can I upgrade my flash prompt?
Actually I do not intend to upgrade it bec of time limitation.
[3] Is my /usr and /var disk space sufficient to do the upgrade?
[4] As for the X.25, do I need to do anything?
Hope the experts can give any comments, precautions and suggestions soon
bec I'm going to upgrade the system tomorrow. Highly appreciate all the
inputs. Thanks.
