| Prev | Upgrading with Live Upgrade | Next |
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 is not supported on Solaris 9.
For Solaris 10, make sure that all non-global zones are booted and in the running state before you use the Symantec product installer to upgrade the Storage Foundation products in the global zone. If the non-global zones are not mounted and running at the time of the upgrade, you must upgrade each package in each non-global zone manually.
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. 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.
Note: |
If you use Live Upgrade on a system where non-global zones are configured, make sure that all the zones are in the installed state before you start Live Upgrade. |
You can use Live Upgrade in the following virtualized environments:
