New page

In this example, I use Solaris Live Upgrade to upgrade a Solaris 8 2/02 SPARC system to the original Solaris 10 SPARC release.

* Note that Live Upgrade for Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 Update 5 or later is not supported[http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6638175-1].

* I ran into problems upgrading to Solaris 10 Update 4, but it may have been PEBCAK.

For this example:

* c1t0d0 is the Solaris 8 disk.
* c1t1d0 is unused, and has an identical geometry as c1t0d0. It will be used for the Solaris 10 boot environment.
* I use the same partition sizes and file system locations on the new boot environment.

=== Duplicate partition table ===

First, I duplicate the partition table from the source disk to the target.

# '''prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2'''

=== Create Alternate Boot Environment ===

Next, I create the Alternate Boot Environment.

# '''lucreate -c Solaris_8 -m /:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0:ufs -m /usr:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4:ufs -m /var:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s3:ufs -m /nsr:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7:ufs -m /opt:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5:ufs -m -:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1:swap -n Solaris_10'''
