Hi all! I need to perform an upgrade of the running Solaris 10 3/05 on Sun Fire V490 to current version with minimal downtime and save present configuration. I suppose it can be done with Live Upgrade. First, I wanted to try to implement such upgrade on my Intel machine. I formatted an additional slice (s4) for another boot environment and run lucreate command with appropriate options (lucreate -c solenv1 -m /:/dev/dsk/c0d0s4:ufs -n solenv2) as documentation says. After a few minutes of working I was unable to do anything on my system: it seemed to be down. Even a telnet daemon was not working - I can reach system only by using ssh, but It wasn't useful - mount point /export/home containing all home directories was not available. Now the system doesn't loading saying that it "couldn't start init". So, my system is crashed and all I can do now - is to reinstall it.
Does anybody have some experirence with Live Upgrade and what can I do to prevent such issuies in future?.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-help/attachments/20080814/8fa2b8c3/attachment.html>
