Live Upgrade specifically allows a boot environment in each of multiple slices on a disk. The procedure is covered in the LU documentation (not the man page, the full multihundred page thing from docs.sun.com). I speak of LU for Solaris 10 update 4 here as I have never tried it on an earlier release (of course I use it to go -from- earlier releases but the LU used is from u4).

I haven't seen that. One configuration detail used to be an issue, and I don't know if it's gone away in recent releases. The 'root' volume used to be special. It had a minor number of 0, so it was impossible to have two volumes in a diskgroup that could be a valid boot filesystem. That would give an LU-like tool more flexibility with VxVM volumes. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
