The systems where you plan to use Live Upgrade must run Solaris 9 or Solaris 10. You can upgrade from systems that run Solaris 9, but SFCFSHA 6.0.1 is not supported on Solaris 9. The vxlustart and vxlufinish are not supported on Solaris 11. ZFS root is not supported by vxlustart script.
For Live Upgrade, if the alternative root environment also has a zone, you cannot install VRTSodm. You must remove the VRTSodm package first then install the Storage Foundation product on the alternate boot environment. After you reboot the alternative root, you can install VRTSodm.
SFCFSHA version must be at least 5.0 MP3.
Symantec requires that both global and non-global zones run the same version of Veritas products.
