Operating Systems Solaris Restoring to previous Boot Environment Post 302542955 by polo_mint4 on Friday 29th of July 2011 05:27:19 AM

Just thought I'd give an update on this issue to say that i've successfully used the boot -L workaround to boot to an old BE.

Oracle have been able to reproduce this behaviour in their lab. They said that this is a known bug addressed in:

Bug 6996301 : s10u9 zfs root PBE/ABE in same pool on-screen luactivate instructions don't work

and

Bug 6923286 : luactivate fails in single user mode during fallback activation

There's no official fix available currently.

NAME
lucurr - display the name of the active boot environment SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lucurr [-l error_log] [-m mount_point] [-o outfile] [-X] DESCRIPTION
The lucurr command is part of a suite of commands that make up the Live Upgrade feature of the Solaris operating environment. See live_upgrade(5) for a description of the Live Upgrade feature. The lucurr command displays the name of the currently running boot environment (BE). If no BEs are configured on the system, lucurr dis- plays the message "No Boot Environments are defined". Note that lucurr reports only the name of the current BE, not the BE that will be active upon the next reboot. Use lustatus(1M) or luactivate(1M) for this information. The lucurr command requires root privileges. OPTIONS
The lucurr command has the following options: -l error_log Error and status messages are sent to error_log, in addition to where they are sent in your current environment. -m mount_point Returns the name of the BE that owns mount_point, where mount_point is the mount point of a BE's root file system. This can be a mount point of the current BE or the mount point of a BE other than the current BE. If the latter, the file system of the BE must have been mounted with lumount(1M) or mount(1M) before entering this option. -o outfile All command output is sent to outfile, in addition to where it is sent in your current environment. -X Enable XML output. Characteristics of XML are defined in DTD, in /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num>, where <num> is the version number of the DTD file. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
/etc/lutab list of BEs on the system /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num> Live Upgrade DTD (see -X option) ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWluu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
