hi
in doing an OS upgrade from s10u5 to s10u8
I try to use zoneadm detach then upgrade OS then attach
the system doesnot allow attach -U ...no such options
but the man page in u8 say
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/816-5166/6mbb1kqoa/index.html
attach [*-u* | *-U*] [*-b* patchid]... [*-F*] [*-n* path]
[brand-specific options]
The attach subcommand takes a zone that has been detached from one
system and attaches the zone onto a new system. Therefore, it is
advised (though not required) that the detach subcommand should be
run before the “attach” takes place. Once you have the new zone in
the configured state, use the attach subcommand to set up the zone
root instead of installing the zone as a new zone.
For native zones, zoneadm checks package and patch levels on the
machine to which the zone is to be attached. If the
packages/patches that the zone depends on from the global zone are
different (have different revision numbers) from the dependent
packages/patches on the source machine, zoneadm reports these
conflicts and does not perform the attach. If the destination
system has only newer dependent packages/patches (higher revision
numbers) than those on the source system, you can use the *-u* or
*-U* options. The *-u* option updates the minimum number of
packages within the attached zone to match the higher-revision
packages and patches that exist on the new system. The *-U* option
updates all packages in the attached zone that are also installed
in the global zone. With *-u* or *-U*, as in the default behavior,
zoneadm does not perform an attach if outdated packages/patches
are found on the target system.
So which version of s10u? can use -U or do one need some patch?
Solaris 10 Update 9, refer to:
http://blogs.sun.com/batschul/resource/s10u9-zones-news.pdf
I don't know which list of patches contains all stuff releated to this
feature so
it'd be available on pre-update 9 versions though.
that would be 142910-17/142909-17 ( the update 9 Kernel patch, SPARC/x86
), once that is installed -U is available, install latest rev of
119254/11955 first, if patching though, it's the patchutils patch.
Enda
