For what it's worth, if you're paying Oracle for support on this system, you need to do a clean reinstall. There's no way you'll get any support from Oracle on that server until you do.

And once you get your system back up and stable, start doing backups. You now know why.

Then look into Solaris 10 alternate boot environments and live upgrade. Start here: Booting Multiple Boot Environments - Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 Installation Guide: Solaris Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning Having a backup boot environment on the system can save you in cases like this.

Cleaning out /var/sadm/patch after Live Upgrade

I recently upgraded my OS to Solaris 10 10/09 from Solaris 10 06/06 using Live Upgrade. I wanted to clean up space in /var/sadm/patch. I'm assuming the server is now clean with a fresh version of Solaris 10 10/09. Can I safely remove everything in /var/sadm/patch? Thanks, jeremy (0 Replies)

lurename(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      lurename(1M)

NAME
lurename - change the name of a boot environment SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lurename -e BE_name -n new_name [-l error_log] [-o outfile] [-X] DESCRIPTION
The lurename 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 lurename command renames the boot environment (BE) BE_name to new_name. The string new_name must not exceed 30 characters in length and must consist only of alphanumeric characters and other ASCII characters that are not special to the Unix shell. See the "Quoting" section of sh(1). The BE name can contain only single-byte, 8-bit characters. It cannot contain whitespace characters. Also, new_name must be unique on the system. A BE must have the status "complete" before you rename it. Use lustatus(1M) to determine a BE's status. Also, you cannot rename a BE that has file systems mounted with lumount(1M) or mount(1M). Renaming a BE is often useful when you upgrade the BE from one Solaris release to another. For example, following an operating system upgrade, you might rename the BE solaris7 to solaris8. The lurename command requires root privileges. OPTIONS
The lurename command has the options listed below. -e BE_name Name of the BE whose name you want to change. -l error_log Error and status messages are sent to error_log, in addition to where they are sent in your current environment. -n new_name New name of the BE. new_name must be unique on a given system. -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
