Solaris 10 liveupgrade/ABE advice

Hi all,

I have got a few questions on the above topic ->

q1) if my intention for creating an ABE is just to use for patching / patchset update -
e.g. ./installpatchset -B secondboot --s10patchset
luactivate secondboot

What is the recommendation that my ABE should consist of ? and why ?
a) a separate device/slice for the / filesystem
b) a separate device/slice for / and swap
c) a separate device/slice for / , swap and /zones

q2) Does luactivate make changes the "boot-device" variable in OBP ?

Reason being I have a svm mirrordisk on /
md1 (PBE) - disk0, disk1
md2 (ABE) - disk2,disk3

boot-device - disk0, disk1

q3) if i luactivate ABE, what will my "boot-device" look likes ?

boot-device - disk2,disk0 ?

Regards,
Noob
