Hello,
I'm having problems with live upgrade on x86. I'm currently running snv_116 and
I can't even get past the lucreate bit, never mind luupgrade.
The lucreate appears to succeed, and creates the new zfs filesystem and
lustatus looks good, but the grub menu never gets updated. I tried manually
poking the grub menu but that didn't seem to work - the new environment was not
bootable. As grub not being updated is the first error I figure this is a good
place to start the diagnosis.
Anyway, here's some output;
# lustatus
ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
ERROR: cannot determine list of all boot environment names
# lucreate -n fred

**********************************************************************
The target boot environment has been activated. It will be used when you
reboot. NOTE: You MUST NOT USE the reboot, halt, or uadmin commands. You
MUST USE either the init or the shutdown command when you reboot. If you
do not use either init or shutdown, the system will not boot using the
target BE.
**********************************************************************
In case of a failure while booting to the target BE, the following process
needs to be followed to fallback to the currently working boot environment:
1. Boot from Solaris failsafe or boot in single user mode from the Solaris
Install CD or Network.
2. Mount the Parent boot environment root slice to some directory (like
/mnt). You can use the following command to mount:
mount -Fzfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /mnt
3. Run <luactivate> utility with out any arguments from the Parent boot
environment root slice, as shown below:
/mnt/sbin/luactivate
4. luactivate, activates the previous working boot environment and
indicates the result.
5. Exit Single User mode and reboot the machine.

For brevity I'll omit the menu.lst, but it has not been updated as a result of
the luactivate;
# ls -l /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2781 Aug 27 13:51 /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
# date
Saturday, 29 August 2009 08:59:09 BST
At this point I can reboot but I don't have any new grub entries.
Can someone suggest a way forward on this please - it is driving me nuts!
Thanks..
