lucreate - To Create new Boot Environment
luactivate - To activate a Boot Environment
ludelete - To delete a Boot Environment
The Below Steps shows ho to create new boot eenvironment,upgrade the Solaris to new release,Patch the Solaris kernel and update the netbackup client . This task is performed the server which is having two zones in it. Please avoid the steps for zones , if you don't have zone in your server .
1. Check mirrors:
# metastat
2. Reboot the server an verify all is ok.
3. Halt the zones
zoneadm -z osstelsun121b halt
zoneadm -z osstelsun121a halt
4. Create new devices for solaris zones
BE OK BACKUP
Sol10_1009 Sol10_0606
d101 d201 /zones
d102 d202 osstelsun121a
d103 d203 osstelsun121b
metainit d201 -p d100 1g
metainit d202 -p d100 3g
metainit d203 -p d100 3g
newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d201
newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d202
newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d203
mkdir /zones_bu
mount /dev/md/dsk/d201 /zones_bu
cd /zones
find . -mount cpio -pmduv /zones_bu
mkdir /zones_bu/osstelsun121a /zones_bu/osstelsun121b
mount /dev/md/dsk/d202 /zones_bu/osstelsun121a
cd /zones/osstelsun121a
find . -mount cpio -pmduv /zones_bu/osstelsun121a
mount /dev/md/dsk/d203 /zones_bu/osstelsun121b
cd /zones/osstelsun121b
find . -mount cpio -pmduv /zones_bu/osstelsun121b
5. Check the fs permissions /zones_bu/XXX with 700.
6.Unmount all backup metadevice
umount /zones_bu/osstelsun121a
umount /zones_bu/osstelsun121b
umount /zones_bu
6. Dettach d20
# metadettach d0 d20
7. Mount d20 on /mnt and modify vfstab (change d0 as d20,d101 as 201,d102 as d202, d103 as d203) .
Modify /mnt/etc/system and change the autoboot as false if you want and change the new boot device as d20.
eeprom auto-boot?=false
edit /mnt/etc/system, modify to this for booting from d20
rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,20,blk
8. Boot from d20 and verify all work fine (also zones)
8.1 . Configure nic on vlan5 and mount nfs
#ifconfig ipge3 192.132.7.220 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# mount -F nfs 192.32.8.11:/export/install /mnt
8.2 Install or reinstall liveupgrade packages from /mnt
# pkgrm SUNWlucfg
# pkgrm SUNWluu
# pkgrm SUNWlur
# pkadd SUNWlucfg
# pkadd SUNWluu
# pkadd SUNWlur
9. Install the patch cluster
# init s
# ./installcluster --s10cluster
# reboot
Note: Make a backup of sendmail.cf, bp.conf.
10. Create the BEs. (Current BE is d20-Sol10_0106. We are creating new BE on first metadevice of root aond other FS)
lucreate -c Sol10_0606 -n Sol10_1009 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d0:preserve,ufs -m /zones:/dev/md/dsk/d101:preserve,ufs -m /zones/osstelsun121a:/dev/md/dsk/d102:preserve,ufs -m /zones/osstelsun121b:/dev/md/dsk/d103:preserve,ufs
Note: Stop nimbus to avoid monitoring the new fs due to this step mount all new fs as /.altxxxx.
11. Verify status of BEs.
# lustatus
# lufslist Sol10_1009
# lufslist Sol10_0606
12. Boot with new BE Sol10_1009 and check all work ok.
# luactivate Sol10_1009
# lustatus
# init 6
13. Boot backup BE Sol10_0606 and check all work ok.
# luactivate Sol10_0606
# lustatus
# init 6
14. Configure nic on vlan5
ifconfig ipge3 192.132.7.220 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
15. Monunt NFS server media:
# ifconfig ipge3 192.132.7.220 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# mount -F nfs 192.32.8.11:/export/install /mnt
16. Start the liveupgrade process.
# luupgrade -u -n Sol10_1009 -s /mnt/media/Solaris_10_1009
17. Activate the upgraded BE.
# luactivate Sol10_1009
# lustatus
# init 6
18. Check release and patch kernel.
# showrev
# more /etc/release
19. Install the patch cluster.
# init s
# ./installcluster --s10cluster
# reboot
20. Check release and patch kernel.
# showrev
# more /etc/release
21. Install oracle patches:
# ls -ltr

22. Install the liveupgrade patches and bundle if you want.Maybe this can help in the future if we need to do another upgrade.

osstelsun121:[/patches/liveupgrade]
23. Modifiy file descriptors to 65536 on /etc/system
* File Descriptors
set rlim_fd_cur=65536
set rlim_fd_max=65536
24. Install Netbackup 6.5 client.
# more version
NetBackup-Solaris9 6.0MP4
osstelsun121:[/usr/openv/netbackup/bin]
# mv /usr/openv /usr/openv.ori
# mkdir openv
# cd /patches/veritas
# tar -xvf NB_65_CLIENTS3_20070723.tar
# cd NB_65_CLIENTS3_20070723
# ./install
# more /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version
25. Install the 6.5.4 update
# tar -xvf NB_6.5.4_Patches_Solaris.tar
# ./NB_update.install Seleccionar: NB_ORA_6.5.4
NB_CLT_6.5.4 *
NB_DMP_6.5.4
NB_ENC_6.5.4
NB_INX_6.5.4
NB_JAV_6.5.4 *
NB_LOT_6.5.4
NB_NOM_6.5.4
NB_ORA_6.5.4 *
NB_SAP_6.5.4
# more /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version
26. Install the Netbackup fix for 6.5.4.
# unzip NB_6.5.4_ET1862252_1_347226.zip
# chmod 755 eebinstaller.1862252.1.solaris10
# ./eebinstaller.1862252.1.solaris10
Note. After this step DBA need to run the script with oracle account. Notify him.
27. Copy the backup of bp.conf and exclude_list in the new paths
# cp /usr/openv.ori/netbackup/bp.conf /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
# cp /usr/openv.ori/netbackup/exclude_list /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list
28. Create a script on init.d and rc2.d for Netbackup client parameters:
init.d:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 292 Feb 4 18:07 set_netbackup_parm
rc2.d:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Feb 4 18:07 S99set-netbackup-parm -> /etc/init.d/set_netbackup_parm
# cat S99set-netbackup-parm
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_smallest_anon_port 9000
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_largest_anon_port 65500
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port 9000
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_largest_anon_port 65500
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_largest_anon_port 65535
29. Configure Sendmail.
30. Reboot the server and verify all is ok.
31.Delete old BE after two days and attach d20 to d0 ( ludelete Sol10_0606)
32. Remove backup partition created for zones (d201,d202 & d203)

Issues and work around
==================================
1.) Try this command if you are unable to create new BE
lucreate -C /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 -c Sol10_0106 -n Sol10_1009 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d0:preserve,ufs
2.)Follow below steps if the server failed to boot after live upgrade and showing below error while rebooting after live upgrade
This was the issue
init 6
