The one problem with Live Upgrade on SPARC

Posted in OpenSolaris, Solaris & OpenSolaris on May 16th, 2008 by Michal Bielicki
Imagine you just did your live upgrade on your SPARC after of course studying this or this and of course reading this and this, tested it and activated it and all seems ok …… but it always seems to boot back into the old environment, you got hit by luactivate being unable to change your boot settings cause your setting of:

diag-switch?

is set to true.

a simple setting of:

eeprom boot-device?=false

fixes that and allows live upgrade to handle its stuff like it should.
