Operating Systems Solaris How to use live-upgrade with single disk, pre-patching steps? Post 303033485 by samthewildone on Saturday 6th of April 2019 09:26:42 AM

After re-reading your post I realized that my original response was, incorrect for what you needed.

I'm not sure about the possibility of creating another
zpool from a standalone rpool. I doubt it's even possible.

To create a zpool, you need a separate disk, you are
able to create a zfs dataset from the rpool but not recommended.

As for the alternative BE to apply patches to, I believe lucreate
makes/has a pre-defined directory which it places the alternative
BEs'.

Let me know if you where able to get this resolved as this
will help solaris admins alike.

Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer. If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on the pool and associated datasets, and report any problems detected. Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 The pool is consistent. 1 An error was detected. 2 Invalid command line options were specified. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWzfsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Unstable | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
