Yes, Both that and the mounted ABE. They are exactly the same # diff /.alt.NEW-BE2010-12-30/rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst # lustatus Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status -------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ---------- s10x_u7wos_08              yes      yes    no        no     - NEW-BE2010-12-30           yes      no     yes       no     - - Roland On 30/12/10 01:03 PM, Gael Martinez wrote: On Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 6:30 PM, Roland Soderstrom <rola...@logicaltech.com.au> wrote: Hi, I used liveupgrade for the first time today and run into a problem. This is a Solaris 10 U7 x86 host. I used the PCA instructions after creating the ABE Live Upgrade PCA can be used in combination with Live Upgrade to analyze or install patches in an inactive boot environment. Use lumount to mount the BE and PCA's --root=DIR option to set the alternative root directory: lumount BE_name pca --root=/.alt.BE_name --install luumount BE_name When you're done patching, activate the new BE and reboot with init 6. In the instructions for LiveUpgrade in MOS I need to select the new BE in the GRUB menu upon boot. I DON'T have a console to this x86 host, so I can't choose the new BE in the GRUB menu as described in MOS. Searched for an answer how to do this but can't find any, the docs says I shouldn't manually edit menu.lst. And looking in the lumounted filesystem the new BE is not in there anyway (after doing luactivate) How do I solve this? (without going to the computer room 20km away and hook up a console to the server) - Roland Have you looked at /boot/grub/menu.lst  ?   -- Gaël Martinez
