Live Upgrade Solaris 9 to Solaris 10

Suppose we have two disk c0t0d0 and c0t1d0. On one we have Solaris 9 and second is spare.

1. We need to prepare Solaris 9 Enviornment.

First remove the old packages SUNWluu and SUNWlur

# pkgrm SUNWluu SUNWlur

Add the new packages from Solaris 10 DVD.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris10/Tools/

# ./liveupgrade20

2. Create the New Boot Enviornmnt

# lustatus

Will only see one boot enviornment

# lucreate -c solenv1 -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0:ufs -n solenv2

# lustatus

we will see one active and one inactive boot enviornment

3. Upgrade Inactive Boot

# luupgrade -u -n solenv2 -s /cdrom/cdrom0/s0

# lustatus

4. Active the second boot enviornment

# luactivate solenv2

# init 6

You Will see its booting from second enviornment

To delete the solenv2 boot enviornment

# luactivate solenv1

# init 6

# ludelete solenv2
