I have created a solaris10 update9 zfs root flash archive for sun4v environment which i 'm tryin to use for upgrading solaris10 update8 zfs root based server using live upgrade.

following is my current system status

Code:
lustatus
Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy
Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
zfsBE yes yes yes no -
zfsBEu9 yes no no yes -

when i try to upgrade the with luupgrade i get following error

Code:
luupgrade -f -n zfsBEu9 -s /mnt -a /flash/zfsBEu9.flar

63521 blocks

NAME
lutab - list of boot environments SYNOPSIS
/etc/lutab DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/lutab is a list of the boot environments (BEs) configured on a system. There are two entries for each BE. These entries have the following form: BE_id:BE_name:completion_flag:0 BE_id:root_slice:root_device:1 The fields in the lutab entries are described as follows: BE_id A unique, internally generated id for a BE. BE_name The user-assigned name of a BE. completion_flag Indicates whether the BE is complete (C) or incomplete (NC). A complete BE is one that is not involved in any copy or upgrade operation. A BE can be activated or compared only when it is complete. 0 Indicates first of two lines. BE_id As described above. root_slice Designation of the root slice. root_device Device on which the root slice is mounted. 1 Indicates second of two lines. The lutab file must not be edited by hand. Any user modification to this file will result in the incorrect operation of live upgrade. SEE ALSO
