3Remove the old version of SNFX.

For AIX, type:

installp -u <file_set>

where the <file_set> is the StorNext product to be removed. For example:

snfs_2.3.1b22.rtc

For HP-UX, type:

swremove -x mount_all_filesystems=false snfsclient

For IRIX, type:

versions remove cv_base cv_clnt cv_serv

For Solaris, type:

pkgrm ADICcvfs

For Linux, type:

rpm -qagrep cvfs-client cvfs-client_<version information>

rpm -ea cvfs-client_<version information>

For Windows, click: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and select StorNext File System.

4Install the upgrade version of SNFX. Depending on your operating system, follow the installation instructions in the StorNext 2.7 File System Installation Guide.

5Restore the backup (Step 2 on page 1) files in the /usr/cvfs/config directory.

6Reboot the system.

Upgrading to Solaris 10 from Solaris 8

Before you upgrade to SNFX 1.3 on a machine with the Solaris 8 operating system, you must first upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 (or Solaris 9) OS. This operating system upgrade is necessary since SNFX 1.3 does not support Solaris 8.

Follow specific Solaris upgrade instructions to perform the upgrade; Solaris 10 installation and upgrade documentation can be acquired from Sun Microsystems.
