Sun Live Upgrade - lucreate fails

Hi,

I currently have one BE and would like to create an ABE.
Code:
# lustatus
BE_name                     Complete  Active  ActiveOnReboot  CopyStatus
------------------------------------------------------------------------
coolthreads                 yes       yes     yes             -

But when I run the lucreate command, I keep getting the following error message:

Code:
# lucreate -n "sol_env2" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0:ufs
Please wait while your system configuration is determined.
Determining what file systems should be in the new BE.
/usr/sbin/lustatus: illegal option -- d
USAGE: lustatus [-l error_log] [-o outfile] ( [-n] "BE_name" )
WARNING: The BE_name should be enclosed in double quotes.
Template entry /:/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0:ufs skipped.

luconfig: ERROR: Template filesystem definition failed for /, all devices are not applicable..
ERROR: Configuration of BE failed.

The target partition is actually bigger in size than the source partition so I wouldn't think that is the problem.

Code:
# prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0
* /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*    1056 sectors/track
*       8 tracks/cylinder
*    8448 sectors/cylinder
*   33918 cylinders
*   33916 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
*   1: unmountable
*  10: read-only
*
*                          First     Sector    Last
* Partition  Tag  Flags    Sector     Count    Sector  Mount Directory

       2      5    00          0 286522368 286522367
       7      3    01  278530560   7991808 286522367

I have also checked the target partition has the "wm" flag but still no luck:

Code:
partition> print
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 33916 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

prtvtoc [-fhs] [-t vfstab] [-m mnttab] device DESCRIPTION
The prtvtoc command allows the contents of the label to be viewed. The command can be used only by the super-user. The device name can be the file name of a raw device in the form of /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2 or can be the file name of a block device in the form of /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s2. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Report on the disk free space, including the starting block address of the free space, number of blocks, and unused parti- tions. -h Omit the headers from the normal output. -m mnttab Use mnttab as the list of mounted filesystems, in place of /etc/mnttab. -s Omit all headers but the column header from the normal output. -t vfstab Use vfstab as the list of filesystem defaults, in place of /etc/vfstab.
