Logical Domains 1.2 Administration Guide

Conversion Phase

In the conversion phase, the logical domain uses the Solaris upgrade process to upgrade to the Solaris 10 OS. The upgrade operation removes all existing packages and installs the Solaris 10 sun4v packages, which automatically performs a sun4u-to-sun4v conversion. The convert phase can use a Solaris DVD iso image or a network install image. You can also use Custom JumpStart to perform a fully automated hands-off upgrade operation.
