The lucreate command creates a boot environment that is based on the file systems in the active boot environment. The lucreate command with the -s - option creates an empty boot environment very quickly that could be used to install a Flash archive.
Log in as superuser.
Create the empty boot environment.
# lucreate -A 'BE_name' -s - \ -m mountpoint:device:fs_type -n BE_name |
In this example, a boot environment is created but contains no file systems. A description, Solaris 9 test Jan. 2001, is associated with the new boot environment that is named second_disk.
# lucreate -A 'Solaris 9 test Jan 2001' -s - \ -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0:ufs -n second_disk |
When creation of the empty boot environment is complete, a flash archive can be installed and can be activated (made bootable). See Chapter 33, Upgrading With Solaris Live Upgrade (Tasks).
