Upgrade install - how to
Enda Mannioooo 13 May 2005 00:58:38
	Hello, To make a long Q? shorter "How do I do an upgrade on Solaris?" OK - here is my pkginfo file PKG=bag NAME=Big Bag of Sticks VERSION="Version 1.3.0" CATEGORY=system ARCH=sparc BASEDIR=/ UPGRADE= CLASS=none but if I change the version to 1.4.0 then i'm not allowed to perform the install. get this: Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <bag> package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the same system has already been met. No changes were made to the system. Any ideas how I can go about performing this upgrade Thanks Enda

	Hi, I am now using MAXINST=1000 in my pkginfo file. But when I increment the version string also in the pkginfo file from say 1.3.0 to 1.4.0 a new package is installed. from pkginfo command: system bag3 B A G (bag) system bag3.2 B A G (bag) But I want to do an upgrade on the same package and not add a new package. How can I upgrade on the same package. -Enda Jorgen Moquist <jorgen.moquist@n.o.s.p.a.m.mailbox.swipnet.se> wrote in message news:<koB9e.48124$Of5.31339@nntpserver.swip.net>...> Enda Mannioooo wrote:> > Hello,> > To make a long Q? shorter "How do I do an upgrade on Solaris?"> > OK - here is my pkginfo file> > PKG=bag> > NAME=Big Bag of Sticks> > VERSION="Version 1.3.0"> > CATEGORY=system> > ARCH=sparc> > BASEDIR=/> > UPGRADE=> > CLASS=none> > but if I change the version to 1.4.0 then i'm not allowed to perform the install.> > get this:> > Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <bag>> > package be created.

No, it shows an new instance of the same package, which occurs when you install a new version of a package (and MAXINST is >1) This is expected behaviour - if you don't want this occuring then you need to pkgrm the old verison of the package before adding the new one.

	The package name has not changed just the version number, here is the pkginfo file: PKG=bag3 NAME=B A G VERSION="Version 1.3.0" CATEGORY=system ARCH=sparc BASEDIR=/ UPGRADE= CLASS=none MAXINST=1000 I just increment the version but still it looks like a new package gets installed not a new version. I just want to do an upgrade not remove the old kit and install the new kit, there are files I do not want to loose. Also during the new install of the kit with the updated version number I do a version check on the previously installed kit using 'pkgparam -v mc3 VERSION' and compare this against the $VERSION variable of the new kit. But 'pkgparam -v mc3 VERSION' returns the updated version number not the one of the previously installed kit. Seems to be related to the problem above where new kits gets installed on each version increment. Hope this is readable. Any ideas. Enda

Maybe not easily. Why do you want to avoid removing the package? I would say that's the most common method that applications use (think Veritas and Legato packages). You might be able to create a patch that would update the files in the package, but I seem to recall that there's no easy user guide for patch creation like there is for a package. -- Darren Dunham ddunham@taos.com Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

	It seems a little strange that I can not perform an upgrade without having to remove the kit I about to upgrade on. I attempted this, I call "pkgrm -n -a $CONFIGDIR/rmnoask bag" from my preinstall script if this kit is already installed\upgrade. But it fails, it seems I can not call pkgrm while I am running pkgadd. I get the following message. NOTE: Waiting for pkgadd of bag to complete. pkgrm: ERROR: unable to install governing lock on </var/sadm/install/.lockfile>. Removal of <bag> failed (internal error). No changes were made to the system. pkgadd: ERROR: preinstall script did not complete successfully Installation of <bag> failed. Therefore I can not perform an upgrade. Can anyone tell me the normal way of doing this?

No, that's not going to work for the same reason you can't have two pkg* commands modifying packages at the same time. Therefore I can not perform an upgrade. Can anyone tell me the normal> way of doing this? The normal way of doing it is to do pkgrm first and then pkgadd. The pkgrm should be crafted so that it leaves any modified configuration in place. (Ftype 'e' in prototype with class "preserve.") You should also be able to set MAXINST to 1, or just omit it. That way, you can pkgadd on top of the existing package without doing pkgrm first. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson@sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.234W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.497N Fax +1 781 442 1677

If I leave MAXINST at 1 and I increment the version from sat 1.3.0 to 1.4.0 the install will not continue with: Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <mc3> package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the same system has already been met. No changes were made to the system. -Enda

Note that preserve only preserves at pkgadd time -- it doesn't during a pkgrm (but one could include an own class action script r.preserve that does only cat >/dev/null). Markus
