You could check, what installer thinks is upgradeable instance
by utilizing libspmisvc test driver - it can show you what
installer thinks are Solaris instances which could be upgraded.
When in miniroot, you could just invoke it in following way
(after you copy it to miniroot from USB stick or via NFS):
# /tmp/svc_upgradeable
Disks found - 1
2 Upgradeable Images
root slice : c1t0d0s0
release: 11
root slice: c1t0d0s3
release: 11
This driver is not part of miniroot, but can be compiled from
installer source code, which is available on opensolaris.org
(you can obtain local copy by issuing :
hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/caiman/slim_source).
If you would like to give it a try, you could pull the latest x86 binary
from following place in SWAN (note: it is not publicly accessible).
/net/install-bldx-11.sfbay/export/home/dambi/ws/install-nv-clone/usr/src/lib/libspmisvc/objs/i386/svc_upgradeable
All that said, since it seems you are probably encountering
bug in upgrade, could you please file CR in Bugster in following
category to track this issue ?
solaris/solaris_install/upgrade
Thank you very much,
Jan
