   In this example, the second_disk boot environment is upgraded and the installation image is on the first CD.

   # luupgrade -u -n second_disk -s /dev/cdrom/cdrom0

   ---

3. When the installer is finished with the contents of the first CD, insert the second CD.

4. This step is identical to the previous example, but the -u option is replaced by the -i option. Also, choose to run the installer on the second CD with menus or in text mode.

   • This command run the installer on the second CD with menus.

     # luupgrade -i -n BE_name -s os_image_path

   • This command runs the installer on the second CD in text mode.

     # luupgrade -i -n BE_name -s os_image_path -O -nodisplay

   -i	Looks for an installation program on the specified medium and runs that program. The installer program is specified with -s.
   -n BE_name	Specifies the name of the boot environment that is to be upgraded
   -s os_image_path	Specifies the path name of a directory that contains an operating system image
   -O -nodisplay	(Optional)Runs the installer on the second CD in text mode
