About rolling upgrade with local zone on Solaris 11
Before doing a rolling upgrade on Solaris 11, for all the local zones which are under VCS control, offline and freeze the service group first. After rolling upgrade is complete, unfreeze and bring the service groups online.
To offline local zone groups
- Offline the local zone group on the cluster.
# hagrp -offline localzone_group -any
- Freeze the local zone group.
# haconf -makerw
# hagrp -freeze localzone_group -persistent
# haconf -dump -makero
- Verify that the group is offline and in the freeze state.
- Perform the rolling upgrade.
- After rolling upgrade is completed, do the following post upgrade tasks:
# haconf -makerw
# hagrp -unfreeze localzone_group -persistent
# haconf -dump -makero
- Sync the local zone with the global zone on nodes which have local zone.
# pkg set-publisher -p /release_media/pkgs/VRTSpkgs.p5p Veritas
Enable the repository service in the global zone
# svcadm enable svc:/application/pkg/system-repository
# zoneadm -z <zone-name> attach -U
- Online the local zone service group on the cluster.
# hagrp -online localzone_group -any
