No not quite. I *want* to do that but I'll first have to lucreate a new
ABE for this to work. And that fails.
It seems to be related to the zones though..
Again some output:

So I inserted before exit_script 1
cat "${TMP_RESULT_FILE}"
Extra information on screen after lucreate again:

So, somehow the error seems related to the non global zones I run.
I just checked the /zones directory and saw three zones plus three
duplicated. Or, they *should* be dups, but they are NOT.
As you can see above, the zones are duplicated in the order: shire,
midgard, yanta. Only the *last* zone (yanta-s10u5/root) was fully
populated by all files that should be there. The other (former) two
only have the right directory structures but he files are missing.
Conclusion: given what you are saying there is only one way to go from
here:
-Make a backup of s10u3
-Do a normal upgrade from DVD (can this be s10u5 or *must* I user s10u4
first?)
-Hope it works out OK and after this I will be able to do Live Upgrades
in the future?
Looking forward to response(s).

Great link. Downloading patches right now. Two of them 'not
found' (120070-cpio and 123333-tftp), but I see quite some patches
being obsolate by 'later' ones. I don't want to make a mess of my s10u3
system. Can I just install the patches in the adviced way (and be
warned if some later patch is installed) or is it safer to upgrade to
U4 or U5 right away?
