Chapter 6

Failure Recovery: Falling Back to the Original Boot Environment (Tasks)

This chapter explains how to recover from an activation failure.


Note - This chapter describes Live Upgrade for UFS file systems. The usage for the luactivate command for a ZFS boot environment is the same. For procedures for migrating a UFS file system to a ZFS root pool or creating and installing a ZFS root pool, see Chapter 12, Creating a Boot Environment for ZFS Root Pools.


If a failure is detected after upgrading or if the application is not compatible with an upgraded component, fall back to the original boot environment by using one of the following procedures, depending on your platform.
