To create a new boot environment on the alternate boot disk

Perform the steps in this procedure on each node in the cluster.

1. Navigate to the install media for the Symantec products:

   # cd /cdrom/scripts

2. View the list of VxVM disks on which you want to create the new boot environment.

   # vxdisk list

3. Run one of the following commands to perform the upgrade:

   To upgrade the operating system, by itself or together with upgrading the Veritas products:

   # ./vxlustart -v -u targetos_version \
   -s osimage_path -d disk_name

   Where targetos_version is the version of the operating system

   osimage_path is the full path to the operating system image

   disk_name is the name of the disk as displayed in the output of step 2.

   To upgrade the Veritas product only:

   # ./vxlustart -v -u 5.10 -U -d disk_name

   The options to the vxlustart command are listed in the preupgrade section.

   See Before you upgrade SFCFSHA using Solaris Live Upgrade.

   For example, to upgrade to Solaris 10 update 6:

   # ./vxlustart -v -u 5.10 -s /mnt/Solaris_10u6

4. Review the output and note the new mount points. If the system is rebooted before completion of the upgrade or if the mounts become unmounted, you may need to remount the disks.

   If you need to remount, run the command:

   # vxlustart -r -u targetos_version -d disk_name

5. After the alternate boot disk is created and mounted on /altroot.5.10, install any operating system patches or packages on the alternate boot disk that are required for the Veritas product installation:

   # pkgadd -R /altroot.5.10 -d pkg_dir
