What's New in the Solaris 9 9/04 Operating Environment

Upgrading Mirrors

The Solaris 9 release now supports operating environment upgrades of root mirrors and metadevices that were created by the Solaris Volume Manager, formerly Solstice DiskSuite. If you are upgrading a system that has a metadevice that was created by the Solaris Volume Manager, you no longer need to edit the system's vfstab. The root mirror is detected, and the operating environment on the mirror is upgraded. This process runs just as in a typical upgrade without metadevices.
