Upgrading From Previous Releases

Upgrading From Previous Releases

When you upgrade from a previous release of Network Registrar, you can choose to save your database or overwrite it. If you overwrite your database, you lose all information about your zones, scopes and leases.

Upgrading From CNR Release 1.x

To upgrade from any Network Registrar release numbered 1.x, you must first upgrade to release 2.0 before upgrading to release 3.0T or 3.0(1)T. Contact the Technical Assistance Center if you need additional information.

Upgrading from CNR Release 2.x or 3.x Solaris

Warning The upgrade procedures for Solaris have changed from earlier revisions. Do not run the

Solaris pkgrm command before reviewing these instructions. The pkgrm command will delete your data if you use it to remove or upgrade Network Registrar release 2.5.

To upgrade from Network Registrar release 2.x or 3.x, you must run the program upgrade_cnr in the solaris subdirectory of the CD-ROM. If you use the standard configuration of the Solaris automounter, this program will be located in the directory /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris/upgrade_cnr.

The upgrade program does the following:

Backs up your existing database

Uninstalls your current version of Network Registrar

Installs the latest version of Network Registrar at the location where the previous version was installed

Note You cannot use the upgrade program to install a new version of Network Registrar in a new location. You cannot use the upgrade program to select options, such as Complete, Server, and GUI. The upgrade program only upgrades the options that were previously installed.

To upgrade from Network Registrar 2.x or 3.x to Network Registrar 3.0(1)T on a Solaris server and to preserve your database, do the following:

Step 1 Login as root.

Step 2 Run the /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris/upgrade_cnr program.

#/cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris/upgrade_cnr

If you mount the CD-ROM manually, or have a non-standard automounter configuration, or are using an unpacked electronic distribution of Network Registrar, replace /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t with the directory on which the CD-ROM is mounted, or the directory containing the unpacked electronic distribution.

Note You must run the script with an absolute path, as shown above. If you run it with a relative path (for example, by typing cd /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris and then

./upgrade_cnr), it will not work.
