#Now new disk is ready for creating new boot environment
#Now
we need to patch the Solaris 9 server before installing live upgrade
packages from Solaris 10(to which the operating environment is going
to be upgraded)
#If you ignore patching, you can still create the
new BE using
lucreate command successfully. But you
can’t upgrade the inactive BE to Solaris 10 as we desire. While
upgrading using
luupgrade command, we’ll encounter
patching errors which will prevent us from proceeding further. I
verified this fact practically already. Hence it is strongly
recommended to patch the running OS (as suggested by
“

**********************************************************************
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 the Solaris failsafe or boot in Single User mode from
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 -Fufs /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /mnt
3. Run
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.

###That’s All!!! Live Upgrade is a nice & pretty
straight-forward feature which is quite beneficial for production
environments where less downtime is desirable. We now have two boot
environments & if we wish,we can remove the older one once we’re
sure that the new BE becomes stable & performing well without any
issues.
Note:
====
1. If We receive the error messages starting with “This system
contains only a single GRUB menu for all boot environments…”
while executing luupgrade, We can use the following solution to fix
that to proceed further.
bash-2.05#
luupgrade -u -n sol10 -s /solaris10iso/
This system contains only a single GRUB menu for all boot
environments. To
enhance reliability and improve the user
experience, live upgrade requires
you to run a one time
conversion script to migrate the system to multiple
redundant
GRUB menus. This is a one time procedure and you will not be
required to run this script on subsequent invocations of Live
Upgrade
commands. To run this script invoke:
/usr/lib/lu/lux86menu_propagate /path/to/new/Solaris/install/image
OR
/path/to/LiveUpgrade/patch
where /path/to/new/Solaris/install/image is an absolute
path
to the Solaris media or netinstall image from which you installed the
Live Upgrade packages and /path/to/LiveUpgrade/patch is an
absolute path
to the Live Upgrade patch from which this Live
Upgrade script was patched
into the system.
##Here we encountered an error, this is related to creating
multiple GRUB menus to reflect both the BEs. To fix this, issue the
commands as suggested by the error output
bash-2.05#

##Now run
luupgrade again
2. If your live upgrade gets failed at the end of execution of
luupgrade command, it would have been mostly due to
space constraint on the disk on which ABE is created. You can mount
the disk in a temporary mount point & check the disk utilization.
If it is 100% full, this is the reason for the failure. In such a
case, We would have to delete the ABE using
ludelete
and re-format the disk and start the live upgrade process all over
again from scratch!!!.The following is an example for such failure,
bash-2.05#
luupgrade -u -n sol10 -s /solaris10iso/
