Live Upgrade

What network ports and services do Live Upgrade use

What network ports and services do Live Upgrade useIt doesn't use any of them. You could use it to upgrade from an NFS-mounted filesystem, but that's not really LU "using" a service or port.
Maybe you should be more specific with your question.

How to delete file systems from a Live Upgrade environment

How to delete non-critical file systems from a Live Upgrade boot environment?
Here is the situation.
I have a Sol 10 upd 3 machine with 3 disks which I intend to upgrade to Sol 10 upd 6.
Current layout
Disk 0: 16 GB:

Disk 2: 33 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 33G /data3
The data file systems are not in use right now, and I was thinking of
partitioning the data3 into 2 or 3 file systems and then creating
a new BE.
However, the system already has a BE (named s10) and that BE lists
all of the filesystems, incl the data ones.
# lufslist -n 's10'
boot environment name: s10
This boot environment is currently active.
This boot environment will be active on next system boot.

I browsed the Solaris 10 Installation Guide and the man pages
for the lu commands, but can not find how to remove the data
file systems from the BE.
How do I do a live upgrade on this system?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the tips.
I commented out the entries in /etc/vfstab, also had to remove the files /etc/lutab and /etc/lu/ICF.1
and then could create the Boot Environment from scratch.
I was also able to create another boot environment and copied into it,
but now I'm facing a different problem, error when trying to upgrade.

ERROR: The media miniroot archive does not exist </cdrom/boot/x86.miniroot>.
ERROR: Cannot unmount miniroot at </cdrom/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot>.I find it strange that this sparc machine is complaining about x86.miniroot.
BTW, the machine on which the DVD image is happens to be x86 running Sol 10.
I thought that wouldn't matter, as it is just NFS sharing a directory which has a DVD image.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Solaris 10 5/08 live upgrade only for customers with serviceplan ?

Live upgrade fails due to missing /usr/bin/7za
Which seems to be installed by adding patch 137322-01 on x86 according to release notes http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4078/installbugs-114?l=en&a=view
But this patch (may also be the case for Sparc patch) are only available for customers with a valid serviceplan.
Does this mean that from now on its required to purchase a serviceplan if you would run Solaris 10 and use the normal procedures for system upgrades ?
A bit disappointing ...

DiskSuite and Live Upgrade 2.0

I have two Solaris 7 boxes running DiskSuite to mirror the O/S disk onto another drive.
I need to upgrade to Solaris 8. In the past I have used Live Upgrade to do so, when I have enough free disk space to partition an existing disk or to use a unused disk for the Solaris 8 system files.
In this case, I do not have sufficient free space on the boot disk. So, what is the best approach? It seems that I would have to:
1. unmirror the file system
2. install Solaris 8 onto the old mirror drive using LU 2.0
3. make the old mirror drive the boot drive
4. re-establish mirroring, being sure that it goes the right way from the Solaris 8 disk to the old boot disk
Comments, suggestions?

I recently built a system (specs below) and installed this card (MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X MS8894, 128MB DDR), and when I try to use Live Update 2 (version 3.33.000, from the CD that came with the card), I get the same message:
"Warning!!! Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function. Note: MSI Live Update 2 supports the Display Cards of MSI only."
I'm using the drivers/BIOS that came on the CD: Driver version 6.13.10.4107, BIOS version 4.28.20.05.11. I see on the nVidia site that they have the 4109 drivers out now, should I try those? ?(
I have also made sure to do the suggested modifications to IE (and I don't have PC-cillin installed):
"Note: In order to operate this application properly, please note the following suggests.
-Set the IE security setting 'Download signed ActiveX controls' to [Enable] or [Prompt]. (System default is [Prompt]).
-Disable 'WebTrap' of PC-cillin(R) or any web based anti-virus application when executing MSITM Live Update 2TM.
-Update Microsoft® Windows® Installer"
I downloaded a newer version of LIveUpdate (3.35.000), and installed it (after completely uninstalling the old version), and got the same results. Nothing on my system is currently overclocked.
Help!

Live Upgrade 2.0 (from Sol8 K23 to Sol9 K05

Installed LU 2.0 from solaris 9 CDs
Created a new BE (= copy of my Sol8 K23)
Start upgrade on my inactiive BE to Sol9
insert Solaris 9 CD 1of2
luupgrade -u -n <INACT_BE> -s /cdrom/sol_9_403_sparc/s0
--> runs fine
eject cdrom
insert Solaris 9 CD 2of2
luupgrade -i -n <INACT_BE> -s /cdrom/sol_9_405_sparc_2 -O '-nodisplay'
After a few questions, the upgrade starts,
it first upgrade Live Upgrade ok,
then it start upgrading Solaris,
it than fails .
I checked the logs on the <INACT_BE> and found in
/var/sadm/install/logs/Solaris_9_pacjages...
it failed on installing SUNWnsm (Netscape 7) because already installed !!
It is right that I had SUNWnsm on my Solaris 8 system!!
Why is this causing LU to fail ?
It should just skip that package and go to the next
For the sake of it I deinstalled netscape 7 of my <INACT_BE> using pkgrm -R
I then restarted the LU using CD 2of2 , now it goes further but fails on package SUNWjhrt (java) which also existed !!
Do I miss something or is LU just unusable ??Thanks

Fred,
I personally have never read that caveat, what is recommended is to always run the same version on components that use the same firmware bundle, in other words.... For a B series upgrade, you need the Infraestruture bundle (include firmware for Fabric Interconnects, IOMs and UCSM) and also need the Server bundle (which includes the firmware for the CIMC, BIOS and Adapter).
Bottom line, the recommendation is to run exactly the same version for components that use firmware that come from the same bundle BUT, UCSM 2.1 introduces an enhancement: "Mixed version support (for infra and server bundles firmware) " wich allows the combination of SOME infraestructure bundles with some server bundles.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/release/notes/UCS_28313.html#wp58530 << Look for
"Operational enhancements"
These are the posible configurations I am aware of:
2.1(1f) infrastructure and 2.0(5a)+ server firmware
2.1(2a) infrastructure and 2.1(1f)+ server firmware
I hope that helps.

Live upgrade - solaris 8/07 (U4) , with non-global zones and SC 3.2

Dears,
I need to use live upgrade for SC3.2 with non-global zones, solaris 10 U4 to Solaris 10 10/09 (latest release) and update the cluster to 3.2 U3.
i dont know where to start, i've read lots of documents, but couldn't find one complete document to cover the whole process.
i know that upgrade for solaris 10 with non-global zones is supported since my soalris 10 release, but i am not sure if its supported with SC.
Appreciate your help

Hi,
I am not sure whether this document:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Maintaining+Solaris+with+Live+Upgrade+and+Update+On+Attach
has been on the list of docs you found already.
If you click on the download link, it won't work. But if you use the Tools icon on the upper right hand corner and click on attachements, you'll find the document. Its content is solely based on configurations with ZFS as root and zone root, but should have valuable information for other deployments as well.

Hartmut

Sparse zones live upgrade

Hi
I have problem with live upgrade on solaris 10 9/10 to 8/11 on sparse zone.
The installation on global zone is good but sparse zone cannnot boot because zonepath changed.
bash-3.2# zoneadm list -cv
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP
0 global running / native shared
- pbspfox1 installed /zoneprod/pbspfox1-s10u10-baseline native excl
the initial path is /zoneprod/pbspfox1
#zfs list
zoneprod/pbspfox1@s10u10-baseline 22.4M - 2.18G -

ERROR: Unable to activate boot environment <zoneprod/pbspfox1@s10u10-baseline>.
how to upgrade pbspfox1?
Please help
Walter

I'm not exactly sure what happened here but the zone name doesn't change. If the zone patch is wrong, I'd try using zonecfg to change the zone path to the proper value and then boot the zone normally.
zonecfg -z pbspfox1
set zonepath=/zone/pbspfox1 (or whatever is the proper path)
verify
commit
exit
zoneadm -z pbspfox1 boot
If the zone didn't get properly updated, you might be able to update it by detaching the zone:
zoneadm -z pbspfox1 detach
and doing an update reattach
zoneadm -z pbspfox1 attach -u
Disclaimer: All of the above was done from memory without testing, I may have gotten some things wrong.
Hopefully this will help. I've had similar issues in the past but I'm not sure I've had exactly the same problem so I can't tell for sure whether this will help you or not. It is what I'd try. Of course, try to avoid getting yourself into a position where you can't back something out if necessary. This kind of thing can be messy and may require more than one try. If a remember correctly there were some issues with the live upgrade software as shipped with Solaris 10 8/11. I'd get it patched up to current levels ASAP to avoid additional issues.

Live Upgrade from 8 to 10 keeping Oracle install

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to do a Live Upgrade from Solaris 8 (SPARC) to 10 and still keep my Oracle available after the reboot.
Since all of the Oracle datafiles are on /un or /opt/oracle I figure I can just create a new BE for /, /etc and /var. From there I'd just need to edit /etc/vfstab, /etc/init.d/ (for db startups), copy over /var/opt/oracle/, mount /opt/oracle.
Does that sound right? Has anyone done this?
On a side note, I'm still trying to figure out Live Update. My system is configed with RAID 1 under Solstice (metatool). I'm concerened about being able to access the MetaDB once the BE switch goes through. Should I set up a new mirror for the new BE prior to running LU? Or should I configure the mirror for the new BE once the switchover has gone through?

Hello dfkoch,
To upgrade from ColdfFusion 8/ColdfFusion 9 to ColdfFusion 10, please download the setup for ColdfFusion 10 from http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html#cf10productdownloads and install the same with the serial number.
The upgrade price can be checked at www.adobe.com or alternatively you can call our sales team.
Hope this helps.

Solaris 10 update 9 - live upgrade issues with ZFS

Hi
After doing a live upgrade from Solaris 10 update 8 to Solaris 10 update 9 the alternate boot environment I created is no longer bootable.
I have completed all the pre-upgrade steps like:
- Installing the latest version of live upgrade from the update 9 ISO.
- Create and test the new boot environment.
- Create a sysidcfg file used by the live upgrade that has auto_reg=disable in it.
There is also no errors while creating the boot environment or even when activating it.
Here is the error I get:

I would break your mirror and do a liveupgrade on the available mirror. Then boot that disk.

Upgrading Sol 10 u3 x86 -- Sol 10 u6 x86 without using LU/Live Upgrade ?

Hi all,
I've got a group of SunFire x4200 M2 hosts currently running Solaris 10 x86 u3, fully patched. They are using the internal LSI Logic SAS controller in a RAID1 config for the disk environment.
When they were originally installed, the thought of running up an SVM mirror wasn't on the cards for our SE who installed them - nor was the potential for using Live Upgrade.
It occurs to me, that whilst Sun will release and continue to release patches for u3, I need to actually migrate to u6 in order to get certain functionality (i.e - new ZFS genesis, iscsitadm/iscsiadm, root zpools). I don't believe this will be "patched in" later for older versions, will it?
How can I cleanly upgrade my hosts without losing any config data or information? Is it even possible? These are production hosts, so I want to do this in the safest way possible. Many have told me I can simply slip in the Sol 10 update 6 media - and boot from it, then find that it will detect the old OS, but I am a little skeptical.
If someone could point me in the right direction here, that would be appreciated!
Thanks.

The installer polls many different things on the existing installation. If any of them aren't exactly right, it won't offer the upgrade option, and it won't give you any hints about what tests didn't pass. (Did I find a root slice, is there a root filesystem on it? Does the /etc/vfstab on that partition make sense? Do I have the space in those filesystems to upgrade? ...)
The most common ones to fail have to do with disk layout. It's possible to move /var around, or have an extra partition mounted that the installer doesn't realize is irrelevant for the upgrade.
If that's not the problem, it's very difficult to pin down. At one level, most of the installer logic is just scripts that you could read to understand the logic, but it's difficult to tell which script is running when, so following the logic is not easy.

How to upgrade from Solaris 10 u2 to Solaris 10 u3 using Live Upgrade?

Does anyone know how I can use "live upgrade" (or any other method) for upgrading my solaris 10 u2 to Solaris 10 u3?
I can't find instructions anywhere! ugh.
Thank you for your help!

Try the following documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-6396
For future reference, I found this by going to sun.com -> documentation -> Solaris Operating Systems -> Solaris 10 Operating System -> Solaris 10 11/06 Release and Installation Collection.

Solaris 10 Live Upgrade with Veritas Volume Manager 4.1

What is the latest version of Live Upgrade?
I need to upgrade our systems from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10. All our systems have Veritas VxVM 4.1, with the O.S disks encapsulated and mirrored.
Whats the best way to do the Live Upgrade. Anyone have clean documents for the same ?

There are more things that you need to do.
Read veritas install guide -- it has a pretty good section of what needs to be done.

Did it really fail due to file dependencies? Will it fix the problem by installing the missing packages on the running BE?

You need to run this script from the CD or Install server: Solaris_10/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20 when upgrading to 10 u7. I had run into this. Run the script and choose all the defaults. Liveupgrade will then not give the errors you have seen.

Sun Live Upgrade with local zones Solaris 10

I have M800 server running global root (/) fs on local disk and running 6 local zones on another local disk. I am running solaris 5.10 8/07.
I used live upgrade to patch the system and created new BE (lucreate). Both root fs are mirror as RAID-1.
When I ran lucreate, it copies all 6 local zones root fs to the global root fs and failed no enogh space.
What is the best procedure to use lu with local zones.
Note: I used lu with global zone only, and worked without any problem.
regards,

I have been trying to use luupgrade for Solaris10 on Sparc, 05/09 -> 10/09.
lucreate is successful, but luactivate directs me to install 'the rest of the packages' in order to make the BE stable enough to activate. I try to find the packages indicated , but find only "virtual packages" which contain only pkgmap.
I installed upgrade 6 on a spare disk to make sure my u7 installation was not defective, but got similar results.
I got beyond luactivate on x86 a while ago, but had other snags which I left unattended.
