I don't see that bugid available in bugs.opensolaris.org, is there any
place I can find more details on that?

ABSURT. I'm sure the zone has it's own mountpoint set. And now LU
presumes all of a sudden a legacy mp? (It has even set it
in /etc/vfstab in the new ABE).

That's how LU scr*&s things up.

if you have a separate /var dataset on zfs root then Lu in update 8 ( 
or using latest 121430-42/121431-43 ) is broke.

this is covered in CR 6884728

It appears to be broken  if the system has zones as well.  From an 
luucreate log:

My problem was creating the new BE to patch -- lucreate worked, but
lumount was a disaster and left things so horribly messed up that even
after a luumount and ludelete of the new BE, a reboot was required
just to make the system sane (thankfully this was all in a maint
window anyway).  But it caused  a bunch of stale mnttab entries that
wouldn't go away as well as a bunch of 'already mounted' errors when
you tried to do anything with the filesystems.  I punted, rebooted to
clear things up, did a zfs snapshot of everything, then patched the
lived system (since I had a boot server I could use to mount the pool
and rollback if needed).

if you have a separate /var dataset on zfs root then Lu in update 8 ( or 
using latest 121430-42/121431-43 ) is broke.

this is covered in CR 6884728

So you do need to apply 119255-70 before patching zfs root on x86 as 
well, to avoid another issue.


what was the error/problem you ran into, output from patchadd + logs 
from /var/sadm/patch/*/log for failed patch, or 
/var/tmp/.log.$$ if they exist, plus some data on the setup, ie 
zfs list and zonecfg to give an idea.



Enda





I found upgrade on attach worked much better in that instance (just
meant I could only snapshot, not create a new BE).  But hopefully I
can get ahold of a box for more testing to get it to actually work.

I found upgrade on attach worked much better in that instance (just
meant I could only snapshot, not create a new BE).  But hopefully I
can get ahold of a box for more testing to get it to actually work.
