Solaris 9 upgrade to Solaris 10

Hi,

We are running Pg 8.2.6 on sparc-sun-solaris2.9 compiled by gcc 3.4.6.

We are planning a server software upgrade to Solaris 10 (binaries and
kernel, etc).

Has anyone done this, and were there problems when trying to start up
postmaster after the upgrade?

Thank you in advance,
Mike

I did not try it, but I don't expect any problems. Solaris 10 U4 and
newer ship PostgreSQL 8.2. Only what you need to know is that S10 uses
SMF instead of init scripts. You need to run:

svcadm enable postgresql:version_82

more man postgres_82.
