section on page 5-21.

of the supported platform types. If your host platform is a Sun Opteron-based platform, use the
Cisco Solaris 10 Operating System Jumpstart Disk for Opteron-based Platforms. Otherwise, use the
Cisco Solaris 10 Operating System Jumpstart Disk for Sparc-based Platforms.

License Installation
Before you begin installation, obtain and install a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch license file using the
instructions provided in “Installing the License File, page 3-15”.
Recording System Data
When you upgrade to Sun Solaris 10, you must reenter various elements of your system data, because
the installation overwrites your existing system data. To ensure that you have all of your system data,
record the contents of the following files:
• /etc/default
• /etc/defaultrouter
• Hostname files for each interface (such as /etc/hostname.hme0 or /etc/hostname.bge0)
• /etc/hosts.equiv
• /etc/group
• /etc/nsswitch.conf
• /etc/passwd
• /etc/resolv.conf
• /etc/shadow
