Upgrade With Disk Space Reallocation

The upgrade option in the Solaris Interactive Installation program provides the ability to reallocate disk space if the current file systems don't have enough space for the upgrade. By default, an auto-layout feature tries to determine how to reallocate the disk space so the upgrade can succeed. If auto-layout can't determine how to reallocate disk space, you must specify which file systems can be moved or changed and run auto-layout again.

If you're creating an upgrade profile and the current file systems don't have enough space for the upgrade, you can use the backup_media and layout_constraint keywords to reallocate disk space. See "Reallocating Disk Space for an Upgrade" for an example of how to use the backup_media and layout_constraint keywords in a profile.
