Displaying the Status of All Boot Environments

Use the Status menu or the lustatus command to display the information about the boot environment. If no boot environment is specified, the status information for all boot environments on the system is displayed.

The following details for each boot environment are displayed:

• Name – Name of each boot environment

• Complete – Indicates if all scheduled copy or creation operations are finished and the boot environment can be booted. Any current activity or failure in a create or upgrade operation causes a boot environment to be incomplete. For example, if there is a copy operation in process or scheduled for a boot environment, that boot environment is considered incomplete.

• Active – Indicates if this is the active boot environment.

• ActiveOnReboot – Indicates if the boot environment becomes active on next reboot of the system.

• CopyStatus – Indicates if the creation or copy of the boot environment is scheduled, active, or in the process of being upgraded. A status of SCHEDULED prevents you performing live upgrade copy, rename, or upgrade operations.

To Display the Status of All Boot Environments (Character Interface)

1. From the main menu, select Status.

   A table similar to the following is displayed:

   BE_name Complete Active ActiveOnReboot CopyStatus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ disk_a_S7 yes yes yes - disk_b_S7database yes no no SCHEDULED disk_b_S8 no no no -

   ---

   Note –

   In this example, you could not perform copy, rename, or upgrade operations on disk_b_S8 because it is not complete, nor on disk_b_S7database because a live upgrade operation is pending.

   ---

To Display the Status of All Boot Environments (Command-Line Interface)

1. Log in as superuser.

2. Type:
