exclude packet upgrade form live upgrade

[mahalingam1]

Hi all

I'm using live upgrade to upgrade a solaris 10 OS to the last release of solaris10 OS but i have the following problem:

The upgrade of the active BE are made correctly but i'm interesting of exclude the upgrade of the apache packet currently instaled on the active BE. I know i can exclude or include files or/and directories when i create a new BE but i dont know if i can no upgrade some packets from the active to the new BE.


Please any one can help me??

Thanks in advance and regards

I think you mean "package" rather than "packet".

What is a "BE"?

Why are you using live upgrade when you are already running Solaris 10? I think you should probably just install the latest set of patches (and of course that way you can easily leave out any particular patches for packages that you do not wish to update).

Hi Annihilannic!!!, yes i mean package. BE is boot environment

I'm using live upgrade in order to probe it then to upgrade solaris9 to solaris10. I'm using live upgrade too to pass fronm UFS root file system to ZFS root file system.

I don´t want upgrade the apache package from the old boot enviroment to the new.

Thank you and regards

I don't think ZFS is supported for the root/boot filesystem anyway?

yes, ZFS is supported for the root/boot filesystem, today i have a ZFS boot/root filesystem from a old boot environment that have a UFS root/boot filesystem. I´m used live upgrade to upgrade the old BE to the new one.

Thanks, I've learned something new, more info here:

That doesn't solve your original problem though; I have no experience of live upgrades so can't help you there.
