Solaris Live Upgrade System Requirements
Solaris Live Upgrade is included in the Solaris 9 software. If you want to upgrade by using Solaris Live Upgrade, you need to install the Solaris Live Upgrade packages on your current operating environment. You can upgrade a boot environment to a release of the Solaris Operating Environment that is the same as the release of the Solaris Live Upgrade packages installed on your machine. For example, if on your current Solaris 8 operating environment, you installed Solaris 9 Live Upgrade packages, you could upgrade a boot environment to the Solaris 9 marketing or update release.
