Live Upgrade fails during upgrade from Solaris 10 U7 to U8

Hello, problem by updating Solaris 10 x86 from U7 to U8 with Live Upgrade. ZFS root mirrored on 2 disks, no zones, no separate /var. Should be an easy job for live upgrade. Yes, liveupgrade20 has been applied from the lofi mounted U8. Yes, 121431-44, the Live Upgrade Patch is installed. luupgrade fails with: ERROR: Installation of the packages from this media of the media failed; pfinstall returned these diagnostics: Processing profile Loading local environment and services Why does lucreate propagates /boot/grub/menu.lst?

This is strange, I have three x86 system and a SPARC that I did a U7 to U8 Live Upgrade, no problems with this part, couple of zone issues on one system but that was it. I know this doesn't help your issue other than to know it does work. I think I would delete the BE, patch U7 to be up to date for at least lu and pkgadd packages/patches and try again.

Hello, > luupgrade fails with: > > ERROR: Installation of the packages from this media of the media failed; > pfinstall returned these diagnostics: > Processing profile > Loading local environment and services I have initated a case with Sun Service. They gave me the solution, it has something to do with: CR 6415933 "upgrade fails when packages have empty SUNW_LOC fields". Delete all lines with an empty value for "SUNW_LOC" in all /var/sadm/pkg/*/pkginfo files (or in the corresponding /a files of the new BE if it is already created). On my system I modified: # grep SUNW_LOC= /var/sadm/pkg/*/pkginfo /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWsesscj/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC= /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWtfhlc/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC= /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWtfhlj/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC= luupgrade works after this modification. Michael.

Thanks Michael for having posted the solution ! googled quite a long time without really finding anything good till your post ! my luupgrade worked fine after doing the same changes as you (same 3 packages). Thanks
