There's all sorts of things that can cause Solaris to not find the
system upgradable and it won't give you the option. But the installer
doesn't give you any hints about that fact.

Things in the /etc/vfstab that the installer can't deal with is somewhat
common. Swap on slices that aren't being upgraded can cause it to
stop. /var/sadm or package issues also come up every once in a while.

Cleaning up /etc/vfstab and making sure there's no cruft or oddities in
there has fixed things in the past.


I am running into this now. I've got 2 sun blades I am upgrading
from 10 01/06 to 06/06. The first one upgraded fine but the second
doesn't give the upgrade option. I have copied over the vfstab from
the first system and that didn't resolve it.

Any other suggestions on where to look?
