[indiana-discuss] BE not activate during update from svn_99 to latest (hopefully 08.11 RC1)
Having problems getting an x4500 updated from snv_99 to the latest. (I would like to upgrade to the 2008.11 Release Candidates, if at all possible). Here's what I'm running now: SunOS sutl500p 5.11 snv_99 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris Here's what I'm doing to upgrade. ANy ideas on why this is breaking are greatly appreciated.

Since you're running b99, these should have been @0.5.11,0.5.11-0.99 But I'm not sure if that would have made a difference in the BE activation failure.

Hi Tom, Can you confirm that c9t0d0s0 has a VTOC label rather than an EFI label? If c9t0d0s0 has an EFI label, then you will need to do the procedure described below. Cindy 1. Detach the disk. # zpool detach rpool c9t0d0s0 2. Relabel the disk. # format -e c9t0d0s0 format label [0] SMI Label [1] EFI Label Specify Label type[1]: 0 Ready to label disk, continue? yes format quit 3. Attach the disk. # zpool attach rpool c9t4d0s0 c9t0d0s0 Tom Georgoulias wrote: Ethan Quach wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# pfexec pkg refresh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# pfexec pkg install [EMAIL PROTECTED] No updates available for this image.

Thank you Cindy, that corrected the problem. Fixed the label, activated the boot environment, and rebooted the server.
