Hi, A BE appears in the GRUB menu only after it has been explicitly luactivated the first time. After it has been activated *once*, it will persist in the GRUB menu and can be booted subsequently by simply picking it from the GRUB menu. An luactivate is not required. Note this applies only to x86 Live Upgrade with GRUB. SPARC Live Upgrade and x86 Live Upgrade on older Solaris releases still requires an luactivate each time you want to switch BEs.

But the other BE's are in grub menu too. I assume I can boot them safely too and not only the activated BE? -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxce snv95 ++ _______________________________________________ install-discuss mailing list install-discuss at opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/install-discuss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
