Dick, Just to make sure I have this correct, you're trying to live-upgrade a S10U3 system with non-global zones to S10U5. Is this correct?
If so, you'll need to upgrade from S10U3 to S10u4 first. In S10U4 we introduced the Zones Upgrade via Live Upgrade feature so then you can live-upgrade from S10U4 to S10U5 or Nevada if you wish. Here's a link to the document that should help you. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-72099-1 Jean Dick Hoogendijk wrote: > On Thu, 8 May 2008 12:12:46 +0200 > Dick Hoogendijk <dick at nagual.nl> wrote: > > >> I have absolutely no idea why it is not possible to create a boot >> environment. >> > > In the meantime I tested some other settings.
