live upgrade procedure

Procedure for Live Upgrading a System from Sol8 to Sol9 (These steps were performed on 172.31.6.132 server)

1) Remove previously installed luu & lur packages from the server.

======================================================= IMPORTANT NOTICE

Patches Needed to Run Solaris Live Upgrade

Correct operation of Solaris Live Upgrade requires that a limited set of

patch revisions be installed for SunOS 5.8 for the sparc platform.

Before installing or running Live Upgrade, you are required to install alimited set of patch revisions. Make sure you have the most recently updated patch list by consulting sunsolve.sun.com. Search for the info doc72099 on the SunSolve(tm) web site.

Live Upgrade may fail to work properly if the latest limited setof patch revisions are not installed on this system.

Note: Make sure you have the console access during reboot.

Important: In case of a failure while booting to the target BE, the following process needs to be followed to fallback to the currently working boot environment:

1. Enter the PROM monitor (ok prompt).

2. Boot the machine to Single User mode using a different boot device (like the Solaris Install CD or Network). Examples:

At the PROM monitor (ok prompt):

For boot to Solaris CD: boot cdrom -s

3. Mount the Current boot environment root slice to some directory (like /mnt). You can use the following command to mount:

mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt

4. Run <luactivate> utility with out any arguments from the current boot environment root slice, as shown below:

/mnt/sbin/luactivate

5. luactivate, activates the previous working boot environment and indicates the result.

6. Exit Single User mode and reboot the machine.

Now reboot the server using either “SHUTDOW/init 6” to activate the LU “Sol9”

Activity completed.
