In cell alw.nih.gov, we will soon face upgrading from sun4c_41 to sun4c_413
on several hundred Sparc stations running as AFS clients. Does anyone have
experience with using the package system to replace one OS with another
version? I expect that a package file could be developed to install onto
sun4c_41 a minimal set of sun4c_413 system files which could then be rebooted
to a working system on which we can do our standard depot/package configuration. But
how much trial and error might be involved to discover the minimal set
of bootable files? Do you have any experience or tools you can share?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
