Hello,
We are building zones over veritas volumes, I have been able to liveupgrade
systems with zones, but I'm now trying to reduce the
downtime, liveupgrade doesn't seem to like using /dev/vx devices, therefore
I tried various ways, the working one was to create
a new /zones filesystem using a striped md device ... but then the operation
to move back all the whole root disks (/ and /var) back onto
veritas devices is long.
I decided to try another way using temporary md devices with the hope to
then simply ufsdump the / and /var md devices into the original
volume group ... but visibly liveupgrade requires the / from all zones to be
bootable ??? Why does it care ?

For the fun of it, I tried the same but moving /usr to the md devices and
there it worked...
