Using Solaris Live UpgradeWith a Zone Root on a ZFS
File System
The Solaris 10 10/09 release provides the ability to install a ZFS root le system and congure a
zone root on ZFS. Typically, you can create and congure a zone root on ZFS as you wish. If you
plan to use Solaris Live Upgrade with ZFS and zone congurations, review the following
information:
■
If you want to use Solaris Live Upgrade with zone congurations that are supported in the
Solaris 10 10/09 release, you will need to rst upgrade your system to the Solaris 10 10/09
release by using the standard upgrade program.
■
Then, with Solaris Live Upgrade, you can either migrate your UFS root le system with zone
roots to a ZFS root le system or you can upgrade or patch your ZFS root le system and
zone roots.
■
You cannot migrate unsupported zone congurations from a previous Solaris 10 release
directly to the Solaris 10 10/09 release.
For a detailed description of supported zone congurations to be upgraded or patched in the
Solaris 10 10/09 release, see
“Migrating a UFS Root File System to a ZFS Root File System
(Solaris Live Upgrade)” in Solaris ZFS Administration Guide
.
For complete instructions on setting up these congurations, see
“Solaris Installation and
Solaris Live Upgrade Requirements for ZFS Support” in Solaris ZFS Administration Guide
.
Review the information in this chapter before you begin your migration to a ZFS root le
system or before setting up zones on a system with a ZFS root le system. Follow the
recommended procedure exactly to set up zones on a system with ZFS root le system to ensure
that you can use Solaris Live Upgrade on that system.
