    thanks to all people who responded(bill fitts, tim evans, ade fewings,
    useel lebar, ying xu, charlie giannetto, tom crummey), sorry for late
    summary, we stopped our servers during 2 days...

    everyone said: "do what it say!"

    but pay attention to what you do, because, to upgrade sol9 to 10, you
    have to have sufficiant space in /, and that's not the case for me!
    on solaris 9, / sizes 4.8Gb, and this machine is a v210 with 2 hard
    disks. So want to use second disk to upgrade, and did a fmthard and
    prtvtoc to have the same disk, and liveupgrade failed because sol10
    needs more space than 4.8Gb!
    so i have to retry
