Thank you to Caper Dik for help - /usr file system was over 68% full.
I was able to get the procedure to work. I used jump start server with
Solaris 09/04. The upgrade recognized the SVM with out any problems - I
did not have to un-mirror root.
The problem I had was with the /usr file system too small.

Subject: Solaris 8 to 9 upgrade problem with disk space
Hi,
I am working on the Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 upgrade procedure. The
system is running Solaris 8 recommended patch level 08/04 with SVM
(SDS), used to mirror the internal drives.
According to sun docs starting from 04/04 upgrade will recognize SVM -
this seems to be working.
According to sun docs I would need around 2GB of free space to have full
release of Solaris 9 installed.
During the upgrade process installation I am always asked to provide
more disk space. The original swap file I have was 1.38GB size, I
thought this could be a problem - so I have created additional swap
space on slice 6 - size 5.00GB - still the same problem. I am attaching
some stats from the system as well as the error message from the
installation process.
I try the installation from Jump server and from the CD.
Please let me know what I am missing in this procedure. I will
summarize.
Thank you,
Pawel
Info from installation process:
Searching disks for upgradable Solaris root devices...
The following root devices were found to be upgradable:
Release Root Device
----------- --------------
Solaris 8 d30 (c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0)
Searching for locations to accommodate a temporary copy of the Solaris
installation software. Swap slices are usually erased at reboot, so it
is
preferable to place the Solaris installation software on slice labeled
swap.
No swap slices that begin at the first usable cylinder have enough space
to accommodate a temporary copy of the Solaris installation software.
Using a slice that begins at the first usable cylinder allows the most
flexibility during filesystem layout. If you are doing an initial
install and
you are not preserving any filesystems, you can re-partition a disk with
the
swap slice starting at the first usable cylinder.
