You are not specific on what your steps, you need to run a tools utility called
liveupgrade20, in my case I have a zpool as root that set to 64g to allow
multiple alternate root images, the only gotcha I have found so far I was able
to run a luupgrade from 10u6 to snv_b101 and then onto snv_b103 but then the
luactivate 10u6 failed to boot kernel in going back for regression testing:
# ./mountdvd.sh
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sfw/bin
+ export PATH
+ lofiadm -a /zfs1/image/sol-nv-b103-x86-dvd.iso
+ mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /zfs1/install/dvd

**********************************************************************
The target boot environment has been activated. It will be used when you
reboot. NOTE: You MUST NOT USE the reboot, halt, or uadmin commands. You
MUST USE either the init or the shutdown command when you reboot. If you
do not use either init or shutdown, the system will not boot using the
target BE.
**********************************************************************
In case of a failure while booting to the target BE, the following process
needs to be followed to fallback to the currently working boot environment:
1. Boot from Solaris failsafe or boot in single user mode from the Solaris
Install CD or Network.
2. Mount the Parent boot environment root slice to some directory (like
/mnt). You can use the following command to mount:
mount -Fzfs /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /mnt
3. Run <luactivate> utility with out any arguments from the Parent boot
environment root slice, as shown below:
/mnt/sbin/luactivate
4. luactivate, activates the previous working boot environment and
indicates the result.
5. Exit Single User mode and reboot the machine.
