lustatus

- display status of boot environments

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/lustatus [-l error_log] [-o outfile] [BE_name] 
     [-X]

Description

The lustatus command is part of a suite of commands that make up the Live Upgrade feature of the Solaris operating environment. See live_upgrade(5) for a description of the Live Upgrade feature.

The lustatus command displays the status information of the boot environment (BE) BE_name. If no BE is specified, the status information for all BEs on the system is displayed.

The headings in the lustatus information display are described as follows:

Boot Environment Name

Name of the BE.

Is Complete

Indicates whether a BE is able to be booted. Any current activity or failure in an lucreate(1M) or luupgrade(1M) operation causes a BE to be incomplete. For example, if there is a copy operation proceeding on or scheduled for a BE, that BE is considered incomplete.

Active Now

Indicates whether the BE is currently active. The “active” BE is the one currently booted.

Active On Reboot

Indicates whether the BE becomes active upon next reboot of the system.

Can Delete

Indicates that no copy, compare, or upgrade operations are being performed on a BE. Also, none of that BE's file systems are currently mounted. With all of these conditions in place, the BE can be deleted.

Copy Status

Indicates whether the creation or repopulation of a BE is scheduled or active (that is, in progress). A status of ACTIVE, COMPARING (from lucompare(1M)), UPGRADING, or SCHEDULED prevents you performing Live Upgrade copy, rename, or upgrade operations.

The following is an example lustatus display:

Boot Environment     Is       Active Active    Can    Copy      
Name                 Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status    
-------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
disk_a_S7            yes      yes    yes       no     -
disk_b_S7db          yes      no     no        no     UPGRADING
disk_b_S8            no       no     no        no     -
S9testbed            yes      no     no        yes    -

Note that you could not perform copy, rename, or upgrade operations on disk_b_S8, because it is not complete, nor on disk_b_S7db, because a Live Upgrade operation is pending.

The lustatus command requires root privileges.
