To Upgrade an Operating System Image on a Boot Environment (Command-Line Interface)

To upgrade by using this procedure, you must use a DVD or a combined installation image. If the installation requires more than one CD, you must use the procedure To Upgrade an Operating System Image From Multiple CDs (Command-Line Interface).

Steps

1. Install the Solaris Live Upgrade SUNWlur and SUNWluu packages on your system. These packages must be from the release you are upgrading to. For step-by-step procedures, see To Install Solaris Live Upgrade With the pkgadd Command.

2. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

3. Indicate the boot environment to upgrade and the path to the installation software by typing:

   # luupgrade -u -n BE_name -s os_image_path

   -u

   Upgrades an operating system image on a boot environment

   -n BE_name

   Specifies the name of the boot environment that is to be upgraded

   -s os_image_path

   Specifies the path name of a directory that contains an operating system image
