To Upgrade a Network Installation Image on a Boot Environment

To upgrade by using this procedure, you must use a DVD or a network installation image. If the installation requires more than one CD, you must use the procedure To Upgrade a Network Installation Image From Multiple CDs.

1. Install the Solaris Live Upgrade SUNWlucfg, 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

   -n BE_name

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

   -s os_image_path
