When performing an upgrade, the issues discussed in the topics below require consideration.
Upgrading to release 9.1 requires a new activation. See Product Activation to activate the D3 license for a multiuser environment.
If a previous release of D3 has been loaded, D3 installation files may still be present in the /tmp directory. These are the files loaded from media with the tar command. These files must be removed before a new release of D3 is loaded. Note that the specific directory to which the D3 installation files are loaded is the decision of the person performing the installation, but /tmp is the most common and is used for reference here.
To check for and remove old D3 files, enter:
|
cd /tmp ls -l D3* rm D3* |
You must obtain a new copy of any third-party product that uses assembly code (for example, Accuplot, PowerComm, Jet, and so on). Third-party products that use assembly code must be reassembled with the D3 9.1 assembler. All custom code needs to be reassembled.
