Re: [zones-discuss] How to get new ZFS Solaris 10 U3 features going from Solaris 10 U2

2006-12-17 Thread Chris Greenman
I saw it on Sun's website.  It was a link from the
download page for 11/06.  

Either I misread the document or they've changed
something.  I could have sworn it said that any zones
will NOT be upgraded.  

Oh well, I guess I should have asked in here before
lowing away all my zones :-(

That's not correct.

If you're using netinstall or DVD media (rather than CDs), then you
should have the standard upgrade option available even if you have
non-global zones installed, and the option does in fact upgrade the
zones as well.  It does not work with Live Upgrade or from CDs,
though; if you use LU or CDs, you can upgrade that way only if you
have no non-global zones installed.

The zones upgrade feature was shipped as part of the very first
Solaris 10 Update release.

The Zulu project that just integrated into Nevada (and is headed for a
future S10 Update) will extend this support to Live Upgrade, so that
all the upgrade mechanisms are supported.

Hi Chris, I'm not sure where you heard that.  You can upgrade a zoned system 
with Standard Upgrade.  It upgrades the zones.  But please see 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq/#sa_upgrade for some 
important details.



If anyone has any other info, please post.  Inquiring
minds want to know :-).

We currently have a couple of servers at Solaris 10
U2, and we would like to get to Solaris 10 U3 for
the new zfs features.  Can this be accomplished via
patching, or do you have to do an upgrade from S10U2
to S10U3?  Also what about a system with Zones? 
What is the best practice for upgrading a system

with zones?

Thanks,
