x86: Cannot Delete the Solaris Live Upgrade Boot
EnvironmentThat Contains the GRand Unied
Bootloader Menu (6341350)
When you use Solaris Live Upgrade to create boot environments, one of the boot environments
in the system hosts the GRand Unied Bootloader (GRUB) menu. This boot environment
cannot be removed with the ludelete command.
If you attempt to remove the boot environment, the following error message is displayed:
ERROR: The boot environment name-of-boot-environment contains the GRUB menu.
ERROR: You are not allowed to delete this BE.
Unable to delete boot environment.
Workaround: Use either the lumake command or the luupgrade command to reuse this boot
environment. Make the boot environment that contains the GRUB menu the last boot
environment to be deleted.
Note – Solaris Live Upgrade does not allow the last boot environment to be deleted. Nor can the
boot environment that contains the GRUB menu be deleted. Therefore, if the last boot
environment also contains the GRUB menu, then you can delete all other boot environments if
needed.
