Sun Live Upgrade - lucreate fails
Hi,

I currently have one BE and would like to create an ABE.
Code:
# lustatus
BE_name                     Complete  Active  ActiveOnReboot  CopyStatus
------------------------------------------------------------------------
coolthreads                 yes       yes     yes             -

But when I run the lucreate command, I keep getting the following error message:

Code:
# lucreate -n "sol_env2" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0:ufs
Please wait while your system configuration is determined.
Determining what file systems should be in the new BE.
/usr/sbin/lustatus: illegal option -- d
USAGE: lustatus [-l error_log] [-o outfile] ( [-n] "BE_name" )
WARNING: The BE_name should be enclosed in double quotes.
Template entry /:/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0:ufs skipped.

luconfig: ERROR: Template filesystem definition failed for /, all devices are not applicable..
ERROR: Configuration of BE failed.

The target partition is actually bigger in size than the source partition so I wouldn't think that is the problem.

Code:
# prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0
* /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*    1056 sectors/track
*       8 tracks/cylinder
*    8448 sectors/cylinder
*   33918 cylinders
*   33916 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
*   1: unmountable
*  10: read-only
*
*                          First     Sector    Last
* Partition  Tag  Flags    Sector     Count    Sector  Mount Directory
       0      2    00          0 278530560 278530559
       2      5    00          0 286522368 286522367
       7      3    01  278530560   7991808 286522367

I have also checked the target partition has the "wm" flag but still no luck:

Code:
partition> print
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 33916 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks

  1 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0

  5 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  6 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  7       swap    wu   32970 - 33915        3.81GB    (946/0/0)     7991808

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

no double quotes for the BE name required.

I have tried the BE name with and without double quotes but I always get the same error message.

I ran into the same error today. I had SVM running with root and /var mirrored from c1t0d0 to c1t1d0. My fix was to remove all the metadevices associated with root and /var.

I just started lucreate again and it is running as expected. Smilie
