Solaris 10 Live Upgrade with Non-global Zones

Hi I am trying to perform a Live Upgrade on my 2 Servers, both of them have NGZ installed and those NGZ are on an diifferent Zpool not on the Rpool and also are on an external disk. I have installed all the latest patches required for LU to work properly but when i perform an <lucreate> i start having problems... (new_s10BE is the new BE i'm creating) On my 1st Server: I have a Global zone and 1 NGZ named mddtri.. This is the error i am getting:- *ERROR: unable to mount zone <mddtri> in </.alt.tmp.b-VBb.mnt>.* *zoneadm: zone 'mddtri': zone root /zoneroots/mddtri/root already in use by zone mddtri* *zoneadm: zone 'mddtri': call to zoneadm failed* *ERROR: unable to mount non-global zones of ABE: cannot make bootable* *ERROR: cannot unmount </.alt.tmp.b-VBb.mnt/var/run>* *ERROR: unable to make boot environment <new_s10BE> bootable* On my 2nd Server: I have a Global zone and 10 NGZ. This is the error i am getting:- *WARNING: Directory </zoneroots/zone1> zone <global> lies on a filesystem shared netween BEs, remapping path to </zoneroots/zone1/zone1-new_s10BE>* *WARNING: Device <zone1> is shared between BEs, remmapping to <zone1-new_s10BE>* *.* *.* *.This happens for all the NGZ running.* *.* *.* *Duplicating ZFS datasets from PBE to ABE.* *ERROR: The dataset <zone1-new_s10BE> is on top of ZFS pool.

I can't remember if the NGZ + LU errors are the same but please check. In general, you should confirm that your zones configuration is supported prior to use LU and you can review that info here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/819-5461/ggpdm.html#gihfj Please identify your Solaris 10 release and I'll look up these errors when I get to the office tomorrow.

I find the new format difficult to use. I still need your Solaris 10 release info but a quick search of some of your NGZ errors is that a mount point of fs is configured inside NGZ is descendant of zonepath mount point. I don't know if this qualifies as nested NGZ zonepaths but I don't think that LU can handle that condition.

My WAG is that the OP will just have to detach those zones, backup, luupgrade the global zone, and then attach -U the zones. John groenveld@acm.org
