Before you upgrade, perform the following procedure.
To prepare for the Live Upgrade
If the primary boot disk is mirrored, you need to break off the mirror for the alternate boot disk.
The version of the Live Upgrade packages must match the version of the operating system to which you want to upgrade on the alternate boot disk. If you are upgrading the Solaris operating system, do the following steps:
Remove the installed Live Upgrade packages for the current operating system version:
All Solaris versions: SUNWluu, SUNWlur packages.
Solaris 10 update 7 or later also requires: SUNWlucfg package.
Solaris 10 zones or Branded zones also requires: SUNWluzone package.
From the new Solaris installation image, install the new versions of the following Live Upgrade packages:
All Solaris versions: SUNWluu, SUNWlur, and SUNWlucfg packages.
Solaris 10 zones or Branded zones also requires: SUNWluzone package.
# /cdrom/solaris_release/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20 \ -nodisplay -noconsole
To preview the commands, specify the vxlustart script with the -V option.
Symantec recommends that you preview the commands to ensure there are no problems before beginning the Live Upgrade process.
The vxlustart script is located on the distribution media, in the scripts directory.
# cd /cdrom/scripts
# ./vxlustart -V -u targetos_version -s osimage_path -d diskname
For example, to preview the commands to upgrade only the Veritas product:
# ./vxlustart -V -u 5.10 -U -d disk_name
For example, to preview the commands for an upgrade to Solaris 10 update 6:
# ./vxlustart -V -u 5.10 -s /mnt/Solaris_10u6 -d c0t1d0s0
