Live Upgrade fails with Delegating Datasets to a Non-Global Zone

edited Feb 11, 2015 3:25AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) Question

Dear Experts,

using Solaris 10 10/09 (SPARC) live upgrade works fine with delegating datasets to a non-global zone, using "dataset" in zonecfg. After upgrading to Solaris 10 1/13 (newest LU patches) live upgrade fails. lucreate tries to copy the files of the dataset to themself.

In "Oracle Solaris ZFS Administration Guide" I found the hint:

If you are using Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade to upgrade your ZFS BE with non-global zones, first remove any delegated datasets. Otherwise, Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade will fail with a read-only file system error.


This is not really a live upgrade anymore, and not useable in production environments.

Using in zonecfg "fs" instead of "dataset" to make the dataset useable in the non-global zone, live upgrde works fine in Solaris 10 1/13.

Howdy, Stranger!
