I have a system with Solaris Express DE 02/07 and I want to upgrade it to Solaris Express CE b65.
I have c1d0 and c2d0 mirrored boot disks with svm and have c1d1 and c2d1 mounted as a zfs file system in a mirrored config. all drives are on the same intel sata controler (in legacy mode, hardware raid disabled). Now when I am booting from the build 65 DVD and get into the install screen and select custom install I get to a screen where solaris is telling be that c2d1 is the boot disk (and it's not in my current config unless the installer renumbers them). I assume it's renumbered and when I try to go to the next screen it says that the disk is not formatted and it will run fdisk on it, now at this point I cancel the instalation since I don't want to risk loozing my data. My 2 boot svm managed drives have 1 solaris2 fdisk partition each. the zfs ones have 1 EFI fdisk partition each. THe ZFS drives have been added at a later time, they were not present at initial install. Now the possible problems can be: Installer does not detect the actual boot disk? Installer does not recognize a partitioned disk? Installer names devices differently than host OS? I have a question: where in the install process should I get the upgrade option? how does the upgrade deal with my SVM mirrored root ? I have the following system: Motherboard: Intel BOXD975XBX2KR Video: PNY Quadro FX 560 Optical: Sony Q170A-B2 18X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive Procesor: Intel® Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe Processor 2.4GHz, 1066FSB, LGA775, 4MB Cache Memory: Kingston KVR800D2E5K2 4GB Kit DDR2-800 PC2-6400 ECC Memory Hard Drives: 2X Western Digital Caviar(boot) 320GB Serial ATA II 7200RPM Hard Drive w/16MB + 2X Hitachi Deskstar 500GB Serial ATA II 7200RPM Hard Drive thanks for any help!
