[i]I thought LU was supposed to be "safe" :-(  [/i]

Alas, that's the one thing that it is not. (Just search the archives, if in 
doubt.)
I'm not working for SUN, only summarize what I picked up on the way here:
LU was bought from a third party, cannot be redistributed therefore, is 
maintained only, and will be replaced by a new system as soon as possible; at 
least for OpenSolaris.
It works okay, if it works, and especially it does so on ZFS. We have analysed 
it, and found some conceptual limitations and some promises. At least, compared 
to all other OSes, LU is a great step into the correct direction: Upgrades 
should be easy, and done on a clone of the system, 'on the system', without 
touching the original. That would be a show-stealer. Unfortuantely, the latter 
(not touching the original) is far from true for LU, and that's why it cannot 
be "safe".
