Hi Gurus,

This is my first Live Upgrade so please bear with me if my questions
sound silly.

I am trying to do live upgrade from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 8 and ran
into following error:

# lucreate -c "Solaris_26" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0:ufs -m
/usr:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3:

ufs -m /var:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4:ufs -m /opt:/dev/dsk/c0t1d06:ufs -m
-:/dev/dsk/c0t

1d0s1:swap -m /home:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5 -n "Solaris_8"

Please wait while your system configuration is determined.

No name for Current BE.

Current BE is named <Solaris_26>.

Creating initial configuration for primary BE <Solaris_26>.

PBE configuration successful: PBE name <Solaris_26> PBE Boot Device
</dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0>.

Determining what file systems should be in the new BE.

Searching /dev for possible BE filesystem devices

luconfig: ERROR: Template filesystem definition failed for /opt..

ERROR: Configuration of BE failed.

I did the flowing steps to create a boot environment:

1) Install Latest patch Cluster on Target Box

2) Install SUNWluu and SUNWlur from Solaris 8 CD to target box.

3) Created partition on Target box on second Disk

4) Mount Jumstart /opt/install to target box as /install

5) Ran lucreate to create a boot environment on target box second disk
as below:

# lucreate -c "Solaris_26" -m /:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0:ufs -m
/usr:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3:

ufs -m /var:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4:ufs -m /opt:/dev/dsk/c0t1d06:ufs -m
-:/dev/dsk/c0t

1d0s1:swap -m /home:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5 -n "Solaris_8"

1) Do I need to create a file system with newfs? Or just partition will
do?

2) On Jumpstart Box what steps I need to follow besides creating a
profile file which contains - "install_type upgrade" ?

3) How do I select cluster type? Cluster SUNWCall?

4) How do I select the Patch Cluster for Solaris 8 on jumpstart Box?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

TIA

B
