Run the preUpgradeChecks Script on Each Server 
in a Standalone System 
Important:  If you are migrating to an integrated Application Server, STOP. You 
should be following the instructions in DVD Upgrade Installation Guide for System 
Release 5.0 with Integrated Application Server
 (part number 4035749). 
 
Running the preUpgradeChecks Script on the DNCS and RNCS 
This section describes how to run an automated system check to determine if your 
system is acceptable for an SR 5.0 upgrade. If it is, you can continue with the 
upgrade; if it is not, you must correct any errors that are found and then rerun this 
procedure. 
 
CAUTION: 
Important:  A feature of the preUpgradeChecks script collects system 
information required to reconstruct the system should the upgrade fail. This 
information will be saved to the /dvs/admin/sysinfo directory on each server; 
therefore, make sure you add this file to the default Key Files list when 
prompted during the live upgrade of the system. CR122820 addresses this issue. 
Notes:  
 
The Sun Blade 150 and Ultra 5 Application Servers are not supported hardware 
platforms for SR 5.0 upgrades. You have to either upgrade the server to a 
supported platform (Sun Fire V245 or V240) or convert to an integrated 
Application Server before you can continue with the upgrade. 
 
If your system includes a Sun Blade 150 or an Ultra5 Application Server and you 
do NOT want to migrate to a supported Application Server, you need to be 
following the upgrade instructions in DVD Upgrade Installation Guide for System 
Release 5.0 with Integrated Application Server
 (part number 4035749).
