Hi friends,
We have a Solaris machine running 10 update 3
-bash-3.2# cat /etc/release
Solaris 10 11/06 s10s_u3wos_10 SPARC

SunOS sunXXXX02 5.10 Generic_150400-59 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490
-bash-3.2# prtdiag
System Configuration: Oracle Corporation sun4u Sun Fire V490
System clock frequency: 150 MHz
Memory size: 32768 Megabytes
It is using UFS (not ZFS):
few of /etc/vfstab entries:
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no -
#/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s4 /var ufs 1 no -
#/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3 /home ufs 2 yes -
#/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s5 /s ufs 2 yes -
# Below entries are part of mirrorsets
/dev/md/dsk/d3 /dev/md/rdsk/d3 /home ufs 2 yes -
/dev/md/dsk/d4 /dev/md/rdsk/d4 /var ufs 1 no -
/dev/md/dsk/d5 /dev/md/rdsk/d5 /s ufs 2 yes -
We need to update/upgrade to Solaris 10 Update 11. By googling I found that we can do it by booting from DVD or LiveUpgrade (seems to be simpler). but we do NOT have support for this machine from OEM. Is it possible to do LiveUpgrade without OEM support. I do have "Sol 10 Update 11" ISO.
Please advise me the detailed steps on how to -
1) break the OS mirror (in case we have to revoke) so that we can apply update only on one disk
2) Perform update process (which one is the best way and its detailed steps).
Thanks
