Solairs 9 to Solaris 10 liveupgrade issue
Hello,
I started the upgrade using LiveUpgrade. I am using Solaris 10 instalation CDs (5 CDs). My server is Enterprise 3500 - SPARC.
1) lucreate -c first_disk -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t11d0s7:ufs -n second_disk
...
luupgrade -u -n second_disk -s /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
WARNING: <5> packages failed to install properly on boot environment <second_disk>.
WARNING: <794> additional packages must be installed on boot environment <second_disk>.
2) Inserted CD2
luupgrade -i -n second_disk -s /cdrom/cdrom0
Updating package information on boot environment <second_disk>.
ERROR: Unable to update package instance information on boot environment <second_disk>.
WARNING: <5> packages failed to install properly on boot environment <second_disk>.
The following packages failed to install correctly
SUNWcsr
SUNWckr
SUNWudapltr
SUNWbsr
SUNWpppdr
3) Inserted CD3 and ran the following command and there is nothing to install.
luupgrade -i -n second_disk -s /cdrom/cdrom0
When I click next next, there is no item in the list to install. I know there are more than 700 packages to install but why the installation stopped? Do I have to install the above 5 packages to be able to install all other 700 ones?
Thanks.

patchmedia
patchmedia(1M) System Administration Commands patchmedia(1M)
NAME
patchmedia - modify Solaris media with patches and packages
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/patchmedia -d media-root [-v] [-o iso] [-l label]
pkg_or_patch [pkg_or_patch ...]
DESCRIPTION
The patchmedia utility takes a list of patches and packages as input and updates the install miniroot in media-root (the root directory of
an on-disk image of a Solaris installation media) to include the specified patches and packages. These patches and packages are also placed
in a subdirectory called DU under the Solaris install image. For example:
media-root/Solaris_10/DU
When booting a system from the updated media, the patches and packages will be part of the booted Solaris image. They will also be applied
to the target system being installed at the end of the installation process.
If -o is specified, a bootable ISO image is created in the file media.iso that contains the Solaris install media. The ISO image can then
be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1). (The latter is not a SunOS man page.)
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d media-root
Top-level directory of on-disk image of Solaris installation media. This is option must be specified.
-o iso
Create a Solaris ISO image of media-root.
-l label
Label/volume name of the ISO image (if -o option is specified). If -o is not specified, the name of Solaris directory under media-root,
for example, Solaris_10, will be used.
-v
Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
pkg_or_patch [pkg_or_patch ...]
One or more patches or packages (you can have both patches and packages in a single command) with which the Solaris installation media
media-root will be updated.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Updating a Solaris Install Image with Patch and Package
The following command updates the Solaris install image in s10u1 by adding patch 123456-07 and package SUNWfoo.
# /usr/bin/patchmedia -d s10u1 SUNWfoo 123456-07
