I'm looking for tips on migrating from 9 to 10. Yesterday, I tried to upgrade an Ultra-60, but it would not allow it. The system had developed some problem and we had been planning to migrate to 10 anyways. So, I did an initial install instead. But, I was happily surprised that it somehow managed to remember my settings for the NIS server. Of course, there were alot of things that it did not remember. Here are 2 things that I needed to change: 1. NFS mounts a. the remote mounts in /etc/vfstab had to be re-added b. the NFS client had to be started at boot i. could not find nfs.client so I took it from Solaris 9 /etc/init.d/nfs.client ii. copy it to /etc/rc0.d/K41nfs.client (same as Solaris 9) iii. and also to /etc/rc2.d/S73nfs.client (same as Solaris 9) 2. remote X11 display always refused a. use command svccfg b. select application/x11/x11-server c. setprop options/tcp_listen=true Unfortunately, it took me all day today to "discover" these. And, for #1, I cheated; I just grabbed the files that I needed from Solaris 9, but I doubt this would work all of the time; it certainly would not for #2. Is there a list of tips somewhere? I tried 2 book stores, but all they had was Solaris 10 Internals. While I'm sure that would be a very interesting read, I doubt it would help me set up my system.
