Solaris 10 live upgrade from Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 s10x_u9wos_14a x86 to Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 s10x_u11wos_ 24a x86

1.If you intend not to register the system #regadm status #regadm disable 2. Download and mount the sol-10-u11-ga-x86-dvd.iso After you inserted the DVD #mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0 /media Mount iso file directly #lofiadm -a /tmp/sol-10-u11-ga-x86-dvd.iso /dev/lofi/1 #mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt 3.Remove the package and install the latest package from the dvd image #pkgrm SUNWlucfg SUNWluu SUNWlur #cd /media/Solaris_10/Tools/Installers #./liveupgrade20 -noconsole - nodisplay 4.Check the packages #pkgchk -v SUNWlucfg SUNWlur SUNWluu 5. Current the system using SCSI drive with root partition - /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 6. I gonna add one more SCSI HDD to the solaris box - /dev/dsk/c1t1d0 Note: /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 - IDE Drive (/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0,s1,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7) s2=overlap,s7 =/export/home /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 - SCSI Drive /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0 - DVD Drive Check current drive status # ls /dev/rdsk/*s0 #devfsadm #drvconfig ( configure the /devices directory ) #disks ( creates /dev entries for hard disks attached to the system ) Check again for new HDD #ls /dev/rdsk/*s0 To format and partition the HDD # format Choose new HDD to format format> fdisk No fdisk table exists. The default partition for the disk is: a 100% SOLARIS System partition Type y to accept the default partition, otherwise type n to edit the partition table. y

Setup the partitions on the new disk to be identical to the current system. #prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0 Optional: no need to do the automount / we just want to use /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 Next, add the proper line to /etc/vfstab: /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0 /data ufs 2 yes And then mount the partition. In this case, I m making a /data partition: # mkdir /data # mount /data # df -h /data 8. Creating a BE with name solenv2 and naming the current BE as solenv1, the mer ged keyword is used to indicate that we are merging it with the parent FS. #lucreate -c solenv1 -m /:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0:ufs -m /var:merged:ufs -n solenv2 example #lucreate -c solenv1 -m /:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0:ufs -m -:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1:swap -n s olenv2 /var = separate partition and gonna merge OR just make #lucreate -c solenv1 -m /:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0:ufs -n solenv2 9. Before you run luupgrade command you need to disable autoreg

echo "autoreg=disable" > /var/tmp/no-autoreg 10. Run update from the DVD #luupgrade -u -k /var/tmp/no-autoreg -n solenv2 -s /media/ 11.check the Live upgrade status #lustatus solenv1 solenv2 yes yes yes no yes no no yes -

12.Check current boot BE #lucurr 13.Activate the BE solenv2 #luactivate solenv2 14.Reboot the system with 'init 6' After reboot the system 15.cat /etc/release It must show Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 s10x_u11wos_24a X86 16.Check and save the patch compatibality with #showrev -p > showrev.lst 17#Now you can delete solenv2 #ludelete -F solenv2
