3.6.1 version not able to start after os upgrade

I performed an OS upgrade on my Server and now I can not get it to start. All es scripts seems to die without starting or validating anything. Any ideas?

SunMC installs binaries and directories that match the OS it's on: i.e. on my Solaris 10 system I can see:

/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.10

/opt/SUNWsymon/base/lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.10

/opt/SUNWsymon/base/sbin/sparc-sun-solaris2.10

So what's happeneing is the scripts are starting... detecting the new OS version... then looking for other files needed in a sparc-sun-solaris[new_version] directory... and since that directory doesn't exist they abort.

A quick hack that will most likely work would be to symlink your old directories to the newer-OS-version names and try to start things again (since binary compatibility usually comes to the rescue). But a better solution would be to reinstall SunMC and have it import your old database and settings.

Hmm, I tried the hack, and it did not work.

got the following error, so it must record the info somewhere else..

so, I tried the es-uninst script and this is the following output:

es-uninst

tabs: cannot set tabs on terminal type sun-cmd

usage: tabs [ -n| --file| [[-code] -a| -a2| -c| -c2| -c3| -f| -p| -s| -u]] [+m[n]] [-T type]

tabs [-T type][+m[n]] n1[,n2,...]

The Solaris OS version when installing Sun Management Center 3.6.1. was :

Your machine is currently running : 2.9

Cannot proceed with current task. Exiting.

At least I have an error. I am going to try to install from cd

well installing from the image doesn't work either,

..

netmon# ./es-inst

-

This script installs Sun (TM) Management Center 3.6.1

-

Installation files source directory: /smcdisk/disk1/image/SunOS/sparc

The Solaris OS version when installing Sun Management Center 3.6.1. was :

Your machine is currently running : 2.9

Cannot proceed with current task. Exiting.

Exiting Sun Management Center installation.

Any ideas?

Hi Tod,This is happing because the previous version of SunMc was not un-installed before upgradation. You need to manullay remove all the SunMC Packages (%pkginfo | grep " Sun Management Center") . Then try installing the newer version.HTHSanjay
