Verifying Solaris 11 BE upgrade
To ensure that BE upgrade has completed successfully, verify that all the nodes have booted from the alternate BE and joined the cluster.
To verify that BE upgrade is completed successfully
- Verify that the alternate BE is active.
# beadm list
If the alternate BE fails to be active, you can revert to the primary BE.
- In a cluster environment, make sure that all the GAB ports are up. Note that different ports appear for different products.
- Perform other verification as required to ensure that the new BE is configured correctly.
- In a zone environment, verify the zone configuration.
If you have set AutoStart to 0 for the service group containing zone resource earlier, perform the following steps:
Verify whether the zpool on which the root file system of the zone is residing is imported
# zpool list
If not imported, online the zpool resource.
Attach the zone.
# zoneadm -z <zone> attach
Reset AutoStart to 1 for the service group containing zone resource.
# hagrp -modify <group> AutoStart 1
If you have installed VRTSvxfs
or VRTSodm
packages inside the zones, you need to manually upgrade these packages inside the zone.
