LU and VxVM root encapsulation is something I haven't tried. What you definitely lose is the mirror if that's what you're trying to use as your alternate BE since Live Upgrade does the duplication of your source BE itself. I'll have to experiment and see what I find.

While LU is cool, I didn't think it understood VxVM root encapsulated disks in any useful way. And if the OP doesn't have VxVM root, then this technique isn't applicable anyway. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
