It does not update automatically, so there have to be a documented process. MySQL 4.0 will not be removed when upgrading, so it will work as before. For new Solaris 11 installs the SIP server will build against 5.0 If there is an existing SIP installation in use, we don't want to break that as part of the upgrade. Does anybody know if there is a standard procedure for upgrading products in Solaris? Should in this case the previous installation be kept, or is it some standard upgrade scripts that should be followed? > > > "2.3 Risks and Assumptions > > All 4.0 users/products will have been updated to use 5.0 by the time > Solaris 11 ships." > > - I'm not sure what the above means? ;-> > It's only in S11 that MySQL5 will ship, so existing S10 users won't be > upgrading until that moment, right? Yes, it is part of the above discussion, if we should force users to upgrade or if the old installation should be kept. > > > "2.4 SMF" > > - Nit; that section seems like a no-op, why list it.. ok, will remove that part. > > "4.

Since everything is located on a different place than for the 5.0 installation, everything should be there after the upgrade. Jan S Berg
