I have a strong suspicion that there's a very basic set of breakage related to SVM support in Live Upgrade as we already have a bug with somewhat similar symptoms reported (but not yet investigated) with other options and SVM: 6539276 lucreate failed when using detach,attach,preserve on a SVM mirrored root I'd suggest pursuing this through your service contract since it's Solaris 10.
