Solaris live upgrade on Active boot environment

Hi,

Is it possible to perform an luupgrade on the active boot environment in Solaris?

I want to perform this on BEAlpha - the disk that has BEOmega will be unavailable whilst performing the upgrade but I still want to install the patches using luupgrade.


Code:
Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy
Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
BEAlpha                    yes      yes    yes       no     -
BEOmega                    yes      no     no        yes    -


Thanks.

to answer my own question which is what I thought.. You can only upgrade BEs other than the current BE.

each BE is associated with two metadevices say d10 and d20, each of these have two submirrors, a mirror on the 2 physical disks in the server so both BEs will still be available but mirroring will be offline.
