(Doc ID 1950236.1)
Last updated on DECEMBER 15, 2022
Applies to:
Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition - Version 4.0 to 4.3 [Release 4.0 to 4.3]Solaris Cluster - Version 4.0 to 4.3 [Release 4.0 to 4.3]
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)
Goal
During upgrade of Solaris Cluster 4.x, the scsintall(1M) command is running "pkg update" without any specific option or argument.
If the system is configured with repositories which provide newer Solaris Operating System release all package will be updated.
In this context we make a difference between
- "Upgrade" which means an upgrade to a higher Solaris Cluster or Solaris release.
- and "Update"which means an update to a higher Solaris Cluster SRU or Solaris SRU release.
Depending on the situation you may use upgrade or update!
