Upgrading to the VCS 5.0 Java Console

When you upgrade to VCS release 5.0, you must also upgrade the Java Console (GUI) that you installed on a separate system. VCS 5.0 supports earlier versions of the Java Console, but earlier VCS versions cannot support later versions of Java Console.

  Note   The VCS 5.0 Java Console requires JRE version 1.5. If necessary, you can add it when you add the Java Console package.

Use one of the following applicable procedures:

 To upgrade Java console on Solaris

1. Log in as superuser on the node where you intend to install the package.
2. Remove the GUI from the previous installation.

   # pkgrm VRTScscm

3. Create a directory for installation of the Java Console.

   # mkdir /tmp/install

4. Insert the software disc with the VCS software into a drive connected to the system.

   The Solaris volume-management software automatically mounts the disc as /cdrom/cdrom0. If it does not, type the command:

   # cd /cdrom/cdrom0

5. Copy the compressed package files from the software disc to the temporary directory.

   # cp -r cluster_server/pkgs/VRTScscm* /tmp/install

6. If your system does not have the gunzip utility, copy it from the disc.

   # cp /cdrom_path/gnu/gunzip /tmp/install

7. Go to the temporary directory and unzip the compressed package file.

   # cd /tmp/install

   # gunzip VRTScscm.tag.gz

   The file VRTScscm.tar is now present in the temporary directory.

8. Extract the compressed file from the tar file.

   # tar -xvf VRTScscm.tar

9. Install the software:

   # pkgadd -d . VRTScscm

10. Answer Yes if prompted.
