1.Live Upgrade broken for Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 upgrade

Has anyone else run into this problem?  I'm using Live Upgrade to upgrade
a Solaris 9 server to Solaris 10.  I created a boot environment on a
separate disk, and then upgraded it to Solaris 10 with `luupgrade -u'.
Now when I go to use `luupgrade -t' to apply the latest Solaris 10
patches to it, I get this...

  Validating the contents of the media </var/tmp/patches>.
  The media contains 220 software patches that can be added.
  All 220 patches will be added because you did not specify any specific patches to add.
  Mounting the BE <s10lu>.
  ERROR: The boot environment <s10lu> supports non-global zones.The current boot environment does not support non-global zones. Releases prior to Solaris 10 cannot be used to maintain Solaris 10 and later releases that include support for non-global zones. You may only execute the specified operation on a system with Solaris 10 (or later) installed.

Is there a way to make this work?  The new BE can't possibly contain a
a non-global zone.

2.Live Upgrade fails during upgrade from Solaris 10 U7 to U8

Hello,

problem by updating Solaris 10 x86 from U7 to U8 with Live Upgrade.

ZFS root mirrored on 2 disks, no zones, no separate /var.
Should be an easy job for live upgrade.

Yes, liveupgrade20 has been applied from the lofi mounted U8.
Yes, 121431-44, the Live Upgrade Patch is installed.

luupgrade fails with:

  ERROR: Installation of the packages from this media of the media failed;
  pfinstall returned these diagnostics:

Why does lucreate propagates /boot/grub/menu.lst?
It's a dummy, the real menu.lst is on /rpool/boot/grub.

Here are the details:

3.Solaris 10 vs Solaris 9 Live Upgrade with RAID-1 mirrors

I have been learning about Live Upgrade in a lab environment for the
last month. I managed to upgrade 3 Solaris 9 systems to Solaris 10. The
setup involves a pair of RAID-1 drives that I split using LU to detach
one slice of the current mirror, and create a new mirror. The command
that I have used is as follows:

(the disk mirror is d10, and the submirrors are d0, and d1)...

# lucreate -n Solaris_10 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d11:ufs,mirror \
> -m /:d0:detach,attach,preserve
Discovering physical storage devices
Discovering logical storage devices
Cross referencing storage devices with boot environment configurations
Determining types of file systems supported
Validating file system requests
The device name <d0> expands to device path </dev/md/dsk/d0>
Preparing logical storage devices
Preparing physical storage devices
Configuring physical storage devices
Configuring logical storage devices....

Now I have a system on Solaris 10 with the same setup, yet when I try
the same thing it states that mirror d11 does not exist, which is true,
but as you can see above, Solaris 9 allowed it. I found a post on this
board (S10 LU with SVM (Raid-1) volumes that described this same
problem but not much as to a solution. Below is the attempt on Solaris
10, along with the mirroring information.

I have looked through the Installations guides for Solaris 10 and it
sure seems this should work.  Am I missing something obvious here? Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike Jacobs

4.Solaris 10 live upgrade from Solaris 8

Hi All,

I am having problems upgrading the Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on both of my 
servers: Sunblade 2000 and Sunfire v440.
Both upgrades are failing the same way:

After successful upgrade at the reboot to Solaris 10 BE the 
network/inetd-upgrade service fails to start and after this service all 
other dependent services fail: services... telnet, ftp... X...

If I disable the network/inetd-update and reboot the system(s) it is the 
same...

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,

Ned

5.SSH'ing between Sol 8 -> Sol 10 hosts

Hi,
I have two hosts - Solaris 8 host running SSH v1.2.30 trying to connect
to a Solaris 10 (build 72) host running the stock std version of SSH.
When i attempt to connect to the Solaris 10 host i get the following
error even after I've unhashed the "Protocol 2,1" line in the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarted sshd.

<Solaris 8 host># ssh -v <solaris 10 host>
