Hi Dave,
Live Upgrade is not an option because of several factors in our
environment, including excapsulated root disks with VxVM and several
containers per host.
I've never used VxVM, but Gerry Haskins writes in his blog today:
"Veritas now supports Solaris Live Upgrade"
http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/veritas_now_supports_solaris_live
http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/sf/5.0/solaris/html/sf_install/ig_ch_install_sol_vm_fs15.html
VxVM Live Upgrade supports the following:
* Upgrading VxVM only (both encapsulated and unencapsulated root disk)
* Upgrading Solaris OS only (both encapsulated and unencapsulated
root disk)
* Upgrading both Solaris OS and VxVM (both encapsulated and
unencapsulated root disk)
* Installing any VxVM or Solaris OS patches
This looks promising ..
Martin.
