Possibly. It never presents the Disk screen with the to select which instance is to be upgraded? What are the contents of /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER on the c1d0 disk? Section 3.3 of the Target Discovery design doc [1] covers the algorithm used in identifying installed Solaris instances, so there are a number of things which might cause c1d0 to not be considered upgradeable.
