Hello,
I'm trying to do the upgrade of SCXE from snv_114 to snv_121.
For some reason the GRUB menu file is not updated and after reboot I can boot
in old snv_114 only.
Here is the upgrade session. There are no neither errors nor warnings during
upgrade:

**********************************************************************
The target boot environment has been activated. It will be used when you
reboot. NOTE: You MUST NOT USE the reboot, halt, or uadmin commands. You
MUST USE either the init or the shutdown command when you reboot. If you
do not use either init or shutdown, the system will not boot using the
target BE.
**********************************************************************
In case of a failure while booting to the target BE, the following process
needs to be followed to fallback to the currently working boot environment:
1. Boot from Solaris failsafe or boot in single user mode from the Solaris
Install CD or Network.
2. Mount the Parent boot environment root slice to some directory (like
/mnt). You can use the following command to mount:
mount -Fzfs /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 /mnt
3. Run <luactivate> utility with out any arguments from the Parent boot
environment root slice, as shown below:
/mnt/sbin/luactivate
4. luactivate, activates the previous working boot environment and
indicates the result.
5. Exit Single User mode and reboot the machine.

Any ideas how can I finished the upgrade?
It seems the GRUB menu on new PE is not updated.
Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong?
I checked the log file /a/var/sadm/system/logs/upgrade_log
There are no errors as well.
Thanks in advance,
victor
