Under production version Solaris the Recommended patches and the updatemanager
along with the smpatch and pprosvc commands only patch the current release and
not all the feature packages, to bring it up to a new /etc/release level of you
want to update i.e from u2 to u3 and even to snv_67, there are several ways
this can be done,
Core System Support Software Group, SUNWCreq
End User Solaris Software Group, SUNWCuser
Developer Solaris Software Group. SUNWCprog
Entire Solaris Software Group, SUNWCall
Entire Solaris Software Group Plus OEM Support, SUNWCXall
Here is the examples I use via luupgrade to go from one release to another and
one can go from one cluster to another as well.
When I installed my dvd or via jumpstart, I had setup the partitions format
command , type disk 0 p then p again i.e:
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 9962 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 3077 - 4096 7.81GB (1020/0/0) 16386300
1 swap wu 3 - 1022 7.81GB (1020/0/0) 16386300
2 backup wm 0 - 9961 76.31GB (9962/0/0) 160039530
3 unassigned wm 2057 - 3076 7.81GB (1020/0/0) 16386300
4 unassigned wm 1037 - 2056 7.81GB (1020/0/0) 16386300
5 unassigned wm 4097 - 9961 44.93GB (5865/0/0) 94221225
6 unassigned wm 1030 - 1036 54.91MB (7/0/0) 112455
7 unassigned wm 1023 - 1029 54.91MB (7/0/0) 112455
8 boot wu 0 - 0 7.84MB (1/0/0) 16065
9 alternates wu 1 - 2 15.69MB (2/0/0) 32130
partition>
cat /etc/release
lucreate -c snv_67_c0d0s0 -m /:/dev/dsk/c0d0s3:ufs -n snv_67_c0d0s3
create a osprofile, this osprofile os only for upgrading, the jumpstart has few
more options
bash-3.00# vi osprofile
install_type upgrade
cluster SUNWCXall delete
cluster SUNWCXall add
luupgrade -u -n snv_67_c0d0s3 -s /mnt -j /zones/bin/osprofile
Or you can just boot up on the DVD of the release for u2, u3 or snv_67 and pick
the upgrade option and just update your OS directly, the advantage of luupgrade
is that you can back out and go back to the old OS.
Make sure you run a shutdown command and not a reboot
i.e: /usr/sbin/sutdown -y -g0 -i6
bash-3.00# luactivate snv_67_c0d0s3
bash-3.00# lustatus
Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy
Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
snv_67_c0d0s0 yes yes yes no -
snv_67_c0d0s3 yes no no yes -
bash-3.00#
bash-3.00# cat /etc/release
