Solaris 10 10/08 Installation Guide: Solaris Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning

Solaris Live Upgrade System Requirements

Solaris Live Upgrade is included in the Solaris software. You need to install the Solaris Live Upgrade packages on your current OS. The release of the Solaris Live Upgrade packages must match the release of the OS you are upgrading to. For example, if your current OS is the Solaris 9 release and you want to upgrade to the Solaris 10 10/08 release, you need to install the Solaris Live Upgrade packages from the Solaris 10 10/08 release.
