VxVM 3.2, VxFS 3.4 upgrade to SF 5.0 on Solaris 8 - SUNWsan question

Hi,

Sorry if this is an obvious one, but I've been through all the patch requirements regarding upgrading from VxVM v3.2/VxFS v3.4 to the latest SF 5.0 version (MP3?) on Sol8, but just need to know if the version of SUNWsan is relevant, as no version number is given.

I have a very old Sol8 server which I need to change as little as possible patch-wise (due to application) with SUNWsan v4.1 (or SFK v6.1.2) where the latest from Sun is SUNWsan v4.4.13. As the newest version has another load of pre-requisites, I was wondering if I need all these additional patches (and all of their dependencies).

 

Thanks in advance

Pete

please ignore the junk above, here is what I said above:

 

Hello Pete,

 

I think you will need to check the patch number, best thing I would suggest you is to use the Symantec VIAS tool, it will give you all the upgrade requirements, In case higher patch version is needed for SUNWsan, that should be reported by the tool.

 

Check more about VIAS at

Hope this helps

Thanks Gaurav!

 

I had no idea this utility existed and has complained about far fewer patches than I had anticipated (and nothing re: SUNWsan!). This will make my life much easier.

 

Many thanks for your help
