More information on the OS upgrade issue...
This is from the customer...
When I'm running in the multi-user state, all of the SAN devices show
up as c7 devices (mpxio) and the internals show up as c1. When I boot
off of DVD, the SAN devices are still there, but they're translated
back to c0 and c1 devices and the internals are c3, (i.e...mpxio isn't
in control).
The gentleman that I'm working for here, opened a case way back when,
#65058360. Can you find out whether mpxio is in the miniroot? ...and
if it is, it doesn't appear to be working.
I'll call you in a minute.

Stop there. It's not (yet) possible to upgrade an S10 system with
non-global zones configured using CDs.
It's possible _only_ with the DVD image.
His zones are located on a SAN device which isn't recognized
while booted to CD. He also says he has mpxio configured which is also
creating issues. I tried to explain to the customer that the issue is
with the OS that he's booting from not having any support for the SAN
device.
No, that's not the problem.
He came back to me and explained that he was told by Sun that
this is a supported configuration and there should be a process to
upgrade this.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this should work. Can it be done?
If he switches to either DVD or netinstall, yes.
