Experiencing error when upgrading SP from 8.0.1 to 8.2.2.1

[rballan2]

I am working to upgrade SPLUNK Version from 8.0.1 to 8.2.2.1 (Solaris 11.3 O.S.).

After the upgrade I see the below output, which is fine.

pkg info -l splunkforwarder

when I try to start splunk I see the below error:

 ./splunk start
ld.so.1: splunk: fatal: relocation error: file splunk: symbol in6addr_any: referenced symbol not found
Killed
 Please any suggestion on this specific error ?

 Thanks.

This is a known Splunk issue: SPL-197140

Workaround:
1. Do not upgrade past Splunk 8.0.5 on Solaris 11.3
OR 2. Upgrade to Solaris 11.4

Unfortunately, Solaris hasn't been supported for Splunk Enterprise in some time now. 

Your options may be to downgrade back to the working version or try to find what it's unable to reference. There's a few posts on this forum with the same, if not, similar question as yours.

Or install a supported operating system .
