Technical data
The command options are as follows:
-R rootdir rootdir is the root of the installed system. The default root directory is /.
-N netdir netdir is the path to the root of the OS image to be installed.
/cdrom/cdrom0 is the default path. netdir is the path to the directory that
contains the Solaris_10_606 directory. You must use this option if you
are running the patch_analyzer from an NFS mount point.
-D databasedir If the script is called from a directory other than the /Misc directory in the
OS image, the program cannot nd the database it uses for patch analysis.
Use the -D option to supply the path to the database. Without this
database, which is located in the Solaris_10_606/Misc/database
directory on the OS image, the script will not run correctly.
SPARC: luupgrade Fails When Using a CD to Upgrade
(6573154)
On a SPARC system, when using a CD (CD1) to upgrade your system by using Live Upgrade,
the luupgrade command fails. The following error message is displayed.
# luupgrade -u -n s10u4_ABE -s /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 -j /var/tmp/profile

miniroot filesystem is <lofs>
Mounting miniroot at </cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot>
mount: /tmp/miniroot.3694: Device busy
ERROR: Cannot mount miniroot at </cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot>.
Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds.
■
Workaround 1: Use the DVD physical media to do luupgrade.
■
Workaround 2: If the system does not have a DVD drive, then use setup_install_server
from CD1 to create an image locally for the upgrade to use. Run the following commands:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools
# ./setup_install_server <local_location>
# luupgrade -u -n s10u4_ABE -s <local_location>
