I have created a solaris10 update9 zfs root flash archive for sun4v environment which i 'm tryin to use for upgrading solaris10 update8 zfs root based server using live upgrade.

following is my current system status

Code:
lustatus
Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy
Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
zfsBE yes yes yes no -
zfsBEu9 yes no no yes -

when i try to upgrade the with luupgrade i get following error

Code:
luupgrade -f -n zfsBEu9 -s /mnt -a /flash/zfsBEu9.flar

63521 blocks
