    Hi Gurus,

    I figured out the problem. It was typo in the lucreate command near /opt
    (s was missing) .After rectifying that I was able to create BE but while
    in upgrade process it failed with error "segmentation fault".

    luupgrade -u -n "Solaris_8" -s /install/Solaris_28_503/ -j
    /install/config/liveupgrade/upgrade

    Snip.....

    Creating upgrade profile for BE <Solaris_8>.

    Updating ABE's /etc/vfstab file.

    The update of the vfstab file on the ABE succeeded.

    Determining packages to install or upgrade for BE <Solaris_8>.

    Performing the operating system upgrade of the BE <Solaris_8>.

    CAUTION: Interrupting this process may leave the boot environment
    unstable

    or unbootable.

    Segmentation Fault

    The operating system patch installation completed.

    The Solaris upgrade of the BE <Solaris_8> failed.

    Any help/pointer will be greatly appreciated. I will summarize.

    Regards

    B

    Hi Gurus,

    This is my first Live Upgrade so please bear with me if my questions

    sound silly.

    I am trying to do live upgrade from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 8 and ran

    into following error:

    # lucreate -c "Solaris_26" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0:ufs -m

    /usr:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3:

    ufs -m /var:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4:ufs -m /opt:/dev/dsk/c0t1d06:ufs -m

    -:/dev/dsk/c0t

    1d0s1:swap -m /home:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5 -n "Solaris_8"

    Please wait while your system configuration is determined.

    No name for Current BE.

    Current BE is named <Solaris_26>.

    Creating initial configuration for primary BE <Solaris_26>.

    PBE configuration successful: PBE name <Solaris_26> PBE Boot Device

    </dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0>.

    Determining what file systems should be in the new BE.

    Searching /dev for possible BE filesystem devices

    luconfig: ERROR: Template filesystem definition failed for /opt..

    ERROR: Configuration of BE failed.

    I did the flowing steps to create a boot environment:

    1) Install Latest patch Cluster on Target Box

    2) Install SUNWluu and SUNWlur from Solaris 8 CD to target box.

    3) Created partition on Target box on second Disk

    4) Mount Jumstart /opt/install to target box as /install

    5) Ran lucreate to create a boot environment on target box second disk

    as below:

    # lucreate -c "Solaris_26" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0:ufs -m

    /usr:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3:

    ufs -m /var:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4:ufs -m /opt:/dev/dsk/c0t1d06:ufs -m

    -:/dev/dsk/c0t

    1d0s1:swap -m /home:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5 -n "Solaris_8"

    1) Do I need to create a file system with newfs? Or just partition will

    do?

    2) On Jumpstart Box what steps I need to follow besides creating a

    profile file which contains - "install_type upgrade" ?

    3) How do I select cluster type? Cluster SUNWCall?

    4) How do I select the Patch Cluster for Solaris 8 on jumpstart Box?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    TIA

    B
