Live Upgrade– Two bugs aect Live Upgrade of Solaris systems with zones:
■
“lucreate and lumake Commands Fail on Non-Global Zones (6659451)” on page 39
■
“Incorrect Permissions on /tmp in Non-Global Zones After Solaris Live Upgrade
(6619278)” on page 40
These bugs will also aect the Live Upgrade of systems that are congured with Solaris
Trusted Extensions. The workarounds are also the same.

Name Service– If your system was congured at install time to use a name service that is
dierent from the name service being used during upgrade, then the global zone may use the
correct name service after boot.
For example, if you specied NIS as the name service to use during system install, but the
system was later converted to be an LDAP client, the luactivate boot can revert to using
NIS as the name service for the global zone. This is due to CR 6569407.
The workaround is to adjust the name_service.xml symbolic link in the /var/svc/profile
directory to point to the correct xml le corresponding to the name service currently in use.
For example, if NIS was specied as the name service during install, then name_service.xml
will be a symbolic link to ns_nis.xml. If the system was subsequently converted to being an
LDAP client, and LDAP was the name service in use during Live Upgrade, then run the
following command:
# ln -fs ns_ldap.xml name_service.xml
This should be done before starting Live Upgrade or before running the lucreate
command. However, if you did not run this command before lucreate, then perform the
following steps after running the luactivate command:
1. lumount the new boot environment:
# lumount <BE_name>
2. Change to the /var/svc/profile directory of the boot environment:
# cd /.alt.<BE_name>/var/svc/profile
3. Link the name_service.xml link as appropriate. For example:
# ln -fs ns_ldap.xml name_sevice.xml
4. luumount the boot environment:
# luumount <BE_name>
Note – If the system is booted without performing the steps mentioned above, you will need
to manually start the appropriate name service-related SMF client services.
