There is a known problem on Solaris that may cause the DHCP server to hang during initialization. The problem is described by Sun RFE 4071167. You can encounter the deadlock in the Solaris name resolver client by installing a linked set of patches from Sun, including 103663-08, and disabling host name caching in nscd (to improve name resolver client performance), which is recommended by Sun in RFE 1243174.
To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
The following table describes the typical outcome when you run different versions of the user interface and the servers:
| GUI and CLI | Server | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
3.0 | 2.5 | Network Registrar runs successfully. |
2.5 | 3.0 | Network Registrar UI displays the error message "Unsupported version number." The server is unaffected. |

When you upgrade from a previous release of Network Registrar, you can choose to save your database or overwrite it. If you overwrite your database, you lose all information about your zones, scopes and leases.
To upgrade from any Network Registrar release numbered 1.x, you must first upgrade to release 2.0 before upgrading to release 3.0T or 3.0(1)T. Contact the Technical Assistance Center if you need additional information.
| Warning The upgrade procedures for Solaris have changed from earlier revisions. Do not run the Solaris pkgrm command before reviewing these instructions. The pkgrm command will delete your data if you use it to remove or upgrade Network Registrar release 2.5. |
To upgrade from Network Registrar release 2.x or 3.x, you must run the program upgrade_cnr in the solaris subdirectory of the CD-ROM. If you use the standard configuration of the Solaris automounter, this program will be located in the directory /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris/upgrade_cnr.
The upgrade program does the following:
To upgrade from Network Registrar 2.x or 3.x to Network Registrar 3.0(1)T on a Solaris server and to preserve your database, do the following:
Step 1 Login as root.
Step 2 Run the /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris/upgrade_cnr program.
# /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t/solaris/upgrade_cnr
If you mount the CD-ROM manually, or have a non-standard automounter configuration, or are using an unpacked electronic distribution of Network Registrar, replace /cdrom/cnr_3_0_1_t with the directory on which the CD-ROM is mounted, or the directory containing the unpacked electronic distribution.
Step 3 Follow the instructions on the screen.
This completes the procedure for upgrading from Network Registrar 2.x or 3.x to Network Registrar 3.0(1)T on a Solaris server. When the upgrade is complete, Network Registrar's services will start automatically.
To upgrade from Network Registrar 2.x or 3.x to Network Registrar 3.0(1)T on a Windows NT server and to preserve your database, do the following:
Step 1 Run setup.exe.
Step 2 Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

To upgrade from Network Registrar 2.x or 3.x to Network Registrar 3.0(1)T on a Windows NT server without preserving your database, do the following:
Step 1 Run the uninstall program.
Step 2 Perform an initial installation as described in the "Installing Network Registrar on Windows" section on page 1-8 of the Network Registrar Getting Started Guide.
