Re: [zones-discuss] Question - Howto upgrade Solaris 8 or 9 in a branded zone to Solairs 10 - Anybody??
I think Andrew was looking for how to upgrade the Solaris 8 system AFTER it had migrated to a container as you describe. As far as I'm aware there's nothing that can currently do this. In the future you'll be able to live upgrade the physical system to Solaris 10 and then use the Native Zone p2v process to migrate it to a solaris 10 container. Unfortunatley though, I've not noticed any talk of providing a Solaris 8/9 branded zone after the upgrade to a Native Solaris 10 zone. -Alex -Original Message- From: zones-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zones-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Nicolas Dorfsman Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 2:01 PM To: Zones discuss Subject: Re: [zones-discuss] Question - Howto upgrade Solaris 8 or 9 in a branded zone to Solairs 10 - Anybody??

Just take the Solaris 8 container documentation and follow the steps. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.8.con1?l=ena=view You have to download a S8 container kit. Depending on which release of Solaris 10 you're running, you may have to reboot your global zone to activate this brandz type of zone. Remember that you can't expect support from SUn support channel without buying a particular contract. And be careful ! It works like a charm...it's pretty amazing as too many companies claims that their virtual blabla let IT departments virtualize anything, anywhere. In the real world ? Ah ah !

I see the move as a curious idea. The best to do is to take your time to migrate your apps to a S10 container, not to upgrade from S8 to S10.
