Upgrading from the early adopter release
Upgrading from the Early Adopter release is not supported. If you have data
that you wish to save contained in the Early Adopter release, back it up using
bcp out. Then, uninstall the Early Adopter release as described in the Release
Notes for that version.
Network setup
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure your system is using a
resolvable host name for its network connection. Your machine is known to
TCP/IP by the name returned by the shell command
‘hostname -s’. You must be
able to successfully execute a
ping command to this name. From a terminal
window, execute:
% ping ‘hostname -s’
When you configure your machine’s name, be sure that there are no dashes in
the name; Adaptive Server cannot use dashes in object names.
If this does not succeed, use NetInfo to configure a resolved host name on your
system manually:
1 Start NetInfo Manager in /Applications/Utilitiesby double-clicking on its
icon from a Finder window.
2 Duplicate the localhost entry and give it the name of your machine.
To do this:
Click the authentication icon to get system administrator status.
