Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide

Upgrading to Solaris Volume Manager

Solaris Volume Manager fully supports seamless upgrade from Solstice DiskSuite versions 4.1, 4.2, and 4.2.1. Make sure that all volumes are in Okay state (not “Needs Maintenance” or “Last Erred”) and that no hot spares are in use. You do not need to do anything else special to Solaris Volume Manager for the upgrade to work—it is not necessary to change the configuration or break down the root mirror. When you upgrade your system, the Solstice DiskSuite configuration will be brought forward and will be accessible after upgrade through Solaris Volume Manager tools.
