I'm looking for the easiest way to get to b61 from b60 for one of my
Live Upgrade environments.
I have three Solaris root slices.
One has S10U3
One has SXDE b55
One has SXCE b60
Pretty similar to what I have.
If I do an luactivate on the b60 one, can I just boot from the
installer DVD and do a clean upgrade *or* clean install on it?
Yes that should work.
If I do that, will that prevent me from using luactivate to switch to
b55 or S10U3?
I'd hope not but I've never tried that.
However you shouldn't need to luactivate to switch between them anyway
just select them from the GRUB menu (or if this is sparc use devaliases
entries for each slice)
Is my best option to do the whole liveupgrade process over again for
the b60 slice?
boot the b60 slice and do this:
1. Install the b61 live upgrade packages from the install image
2. lumake -n b55
3. luupgrade -n b55 -u -s /path/to/install_image
This leaves you with S10u3, b60 and b61 which isn't what I think you
want. So try this.
boot the b55 slice and do this:
1. Install the b61 live upgrade pacakges from the install image
2. luupgrade -n b61 -u -s /path/to/install_image
I haven't actually tried this second style in quite a while but it did
work for me in the past and I believe it should work just fine.
The key is that you will have to have the b61 lu packages installed on
your b55 image though.
