Applies to:Sun Fire 15K ServerSun Fire 12K Server Sun Fire E20K Server Sun Fire E25K Server All Platforms ***Checked for relevance on 25-May-2011*** GoalTo upgrade System Controllers (SC's) in a Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K/E20K/E25K server, you must follow the steps detailed in the System Management Services (SMS) Installation Guide for your version of SMS.When skipping versions (for example, if you upgrade from SMS version 1.2 to version 1.6,) the inbetween versions must be used to get to 1.4.1 and then with Patch ID 137195-01 you can go straight to version 1.6. All existing SMS 1.5, 1.4.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, and 1.1 users are encouraged to migrate to SMS 1.6 at this time.
SolutionNote: Before upgrading, make sure that failover between the two System Controllers is active, that no files are queued in `showdatasync`, and that a test failover between the two System Controllers works.At the end of the upgrade process, both system controllers must have the same version of SMS software. When upgrading, follow the upgrade path as follows: From ... SMS 1.1 --> All patches up to date --> upgrade to SMS 1.2 ** Upgrade is not reversible. You will not be able use smsversion to revert back to the old installation after the upgrade. SMS 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.4.1 , 1.5 & 1.6 have two versions of software, one for Solaris[TM] 8 Operating System(OS), and one for Solaris[TM] 9 OS (or 9 and 10 for SMS 1.6). Please use the correct version of software for your upgrade path. SMS 1.2
SMS 1.3
SMS 1.4
SMS 1.4.1
SMS 1.5
SMS 1.6

Without the patch, the following error is given when upgrading; ./smsupgrade /var/tmp/sms_1_4_1_sparc/System_Management_Services_1.4.1/Product Library file "/usr/lib/fm/libdiagcode.so.1" not installed. Fatal error: SMS Version 1.4.1 could not be installed. Please correct any reported issues and restart smsupgrade. Log file is /var/sadm/system/logs/smsupgrade. Exiting. BugID: 6431521 Inconsistency between SMS 1.6 's Release Note doc & Install doc. (removed reference to Patch ID 113027-05 from this doc) There have been several questions of confusion about the minimum Solaris 8 requirements for different versions of SMS. For the software itself, Solaris 8 02/02 is the minimum version needed. This will support all platforms with US-III+ processors in the domains. However, in order to use US-IV or US-IV+ processors, the SC must be running a minimum Solaris 8 02/04. Please understand that the requirement here is based on the processors, not SMS. This is not clearly stated in the SMS 1.5 Installation Guide, so please refer to the SMS 1.6 Release Notes for the most recent info.
