Thanks for the tips Vishal - I'll be giving it a go tomorrow so will let you know how I get on.

I have already removed the packages, re-installed and patched up to a level recommended by Oracle...

Cheers DN2 - that's what I thought and I was starting to doubt myself for a minute!

So do you think the syntax I quoted earlier will work. Just point luupgade in the direction directory that...

Hello

I need to upgrade our Solaris 10 OS Update 9 as we are not ready for u10 yet.

I asked MOS for Update 9 which they supplied and I've downloaded.

The thing is, it's in a zip file...

Hi Vishal

What I did which seems to have sorted the problem is:

- I had previously been on LU patch 121430-67 which may well have been causing th problem. I'd removed that and install...

Hi Vishal

I was going to try your suggestion tonight out of hours. In the meantime, I also logged a call with Oracle who had suggested trying lumount of current_be to see if that was the problem...

Hi Vishal

Although it's not in the lufslist for current_be it is present in the /etc/lu/ICF.1 (current_be) file. I'm pretty sure now it's because when I initially created current_be, I logged in...

# lufslist current_be
boot environment name: current_be

Last week, I created a new BE using lucreate which I was able to successfully boot from and has been working fine sinxe.

I now want to revert to the original BE but luactivate gives me these...

Thank you both - I've put in a request for Update 9.

As a requirement for Oracle 11g I need Solaris 10 to be on at least update 6.

I am currently on update 4.

Applying the patch bundle isn't an option as the 11g upgrade pre-req checks needs to...

I got another chance to do this at the weekend and it worked perfectly. I did however load in a few patches that are recommended in the LU Starter Patchset that we didn't have - that may well have...

In the end I set the eeprom parameters to output-device=screen and input-device=keyboard and that did the trick.

Not sure how they'd been set to ttya but they may well have always been like that....

Unfortunately I can't try it at the moment as it is a live server although I am fairly sure I did check lustatus after the first attempt and it returned the same.

I will reboot it when I get...

Just checking ;-)

Right i've activated the new BE:

# lustatus
Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy

I must admit the luactivate output was from Saturday when I first tried it.

If I activate the new BE again now, how do I de-activate it - is it just a case of doing luactivate against the current...

This is the full output from the luactivate command:

# luactivate Solaris10_910_be
A Live Upgrade Sync operation will be performed on startup of boot environment <Solaris10_910_be>.
WARNING:...

I have a SunFire V490

Recently when the server is rebooted the screen goes blank from when the CDE is shutdown to when it is started up again.

Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing...

Sorry - I meant to mention it in the original post.

init 6 - which from what I have read should've worked.

I am on Solaris 10 Update 4 and looking at applying the Update 9 patch bundle.

I've created a new boot environment using lucreate and then activated it. I haven't upgraded the new BE but wanted...
