How do I use Live Upgrade to convert my UFS file systems to ZFS file systems?
You must upgrade your system to Solaris 10 10/08. Or, you can use the initial installation to set up a UFS root file system. You then use Live Upgrade to migrate to a ZFS root file system. You must create a ZFS storage pool for your ZFS root pool. Live Upgrade knows nothing about formatting or repartitioning disks.
• You must upgrade your system running a previous Nevada release to build 90. Or, you can use the initial installation to set up a UFS root file system. Then, you can use Live Upgrade to migrate to a ZFS root file system. • You must create a ZFS storage pool for your ZFS root pool. Live Upgrade knows nothing about formatting or repartitioning disks. • The Live Upgrade phase includes the following steps: • Run lucreate to copy the primary BE to create an alternate BE. For example, use syntax similar to the following to migrate a UFS BE to a ZFS root pool: # zpool create mpool mirror c1t0d0s0 c1t1d0s0 # lucreate -c c1t2d0s0 -n zfsBE -p mpool The default file systems are created in the specified pool and the non-shared file systems are then copied into the root pool. If you create another BE in the same pool, the syntax to create an alternate BE is similar to the following: # lucreate -n ZFS2be • Run luupgrade to upgrade the alternate BE (optional). • Run luactivate on the newly upgraded
