Operating Systems Solaris luupgrade Solaris8 to 10u5 "cannot unmount miniroot"
# 8  
Old 04-08-2010
Yah, no go. Wouldn't boot to the partial upgrade at all. None of the things I tried would let the system boot to the PREVIOUS boot environment either.

Liveupgrade... I am SO glad this was not attempted on a real prod or dev system.

I'm not giving up yet, i've installed Solaris10u3 on the 2 test systems and am going to proceed. I AM marking off liveupgrade as a sol8-10 path possibility.

Sun always amazes me at it's complete lack of sanity checks, dependency checks and the like, things such at the 2 year old kernel patch that "forgets" to run boot update, leaving a system completely unbootable. Most operating systems would consider UPDATING the patch, not leaving it out there broken.

but I digress. Moving on to Solaris 10.
