I ran into a couple of problems whilst upgrading Solaris 10 so I’d thought I’d share:
Upgrading Solaris 10 FCS to Solaris 10 01/06
——————————————–
My usual way of using live upgrade between the releases is as follows:
pkgrm SUNWlur SUNWluu
pkgadd -d . SUNWlur SUNWluu
lucreate -c sol10 -n sol10_106 -m /:d100:ufs,mirror -m /:d1:ufs,detach,attach,preserve
luupgrade -u -n sol10_106 -s
cd /var/tmp
unzip -q 10_Recommneded.zip
luupgrade -t -n sol10_106 -s /var/tmp/10_recommended_patch_orderluactivate sol10_106
init 6
However the following happens with Solaris 10 FCS:
* You can’t use the detach, attach preserve due to bug 5106987 as it’ll complain about d100 not existing. The workaround is to detach the sub mirror first and create a new mirror.
bash-3.00# luupgrade -u -n 10_106 -s /net/rangdo/export/fcs/os/10_106

or unbootable.

* Ok, you’ve hit bug 6334277, but it looks like the srdb 72099 – Solaris[TM] Live Upgrade Software: Minimum Patch Requirements has been updated to contain the required patches to need to get round it!
119254-13 or higher patchadd/patchrm patches
119317-01 or higher SVr4 Packaging Commands (usr) Patch
120900-03 or higher SUNWzoneu required patch
121333-02 or higher SUNWzoneu required patch
121430-02 or higher SUNWlur/SUNWluu required for S10
120235-01 or higher SUNWluzone required patches
121428-01 or higher SUNWluzone required patches
I usually make sure the recommended patch cluster is installed first before installing the above. Some of these are T-patches which you’ll have to download from Sunsolve.
Once the patches are installed you should be able to upgrade smoothly.
