Question Solairs 9 to Solaris 10 liveupgrade issue
Hello,

I started the upgrade using LiveUpgrade. I am using Solaris 10 instalation CDs (5 CDs). My server is Enterprise 3500 - SPARC.

1) lucreate -c first_disk -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t11d0s7:ufs -n second_disk
...
luupgrade -u -n second_disk -s /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
WARNING: <5> packages failed to install properly on boot environment <second_disk>.
WARNING: <794> additional packages must be installed on boot environment <second_disk>.

2) Inserted CD2
luupgrade -i -n second_disk -s /cdrom/cdrom0
Updating package information on boot environment <second_disk>.
ERROR: Unable to update package instance information on boot environment <second_disk>.

WARNING: <5> packages failed to install properly on boot environment <second_disk>.

The following packages failed to install correctly

SUNWcsr
SUNWckr
SUNWudapltr
SUNWbsr
SUNWpppdr

3) Inserted CD3 and ran the following command and there is nothing to install.
luupgrade -i -n second_disk -s /cdrom/cdrom0

When I click next next, there is no item in the list to install. I know there are more than 700 packages to install but why the installation stopped? Do I have to install the above 5 packages to be able to install all other 700 ones?

Thanks.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
