Solaris Live Upgrade

[ibusoe]

Okay, gang. Got x86 Solaris running on an old Dell box. Created a Boot Environment for my existing setup.

Now I'm trying to clone the Boot Environment so that I can do the Live Upgrade. However I'm getting an error when I use the lucreate command.

I presume I need to get a slice ready for the utility because the utility is not smart enough to really do any slicing itself.
Any ideas?

I believe you are correct, It's been a couple of months since I played with LU. I found this site to be very helpful:

Thanks. I'll give the jedicoder a shot. I'll keep you posted.
