if you are doing an image upgrade from build 132 to build 133 and you do
havenon-global zones in the installed state, you may run into:
Bug 14668 - pkg directory action does work when there is none
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14668
workaround_1:
- uninstall the zones before image-upgrade
workaround_2 (as reported in the bug):
- rebooting into single user, entering "maintenance
mode" as "root" and image-updating from there.
Please note that you should only hit this if you have installed SUNWscp.
see bugs:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14667
and
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6928051
workaround_3:
- detach all of the zones on the system before the image-update.
NB: this is strongly discouraged as no new BE gets created for the installed
Zone,
instead the current Zone BE is updated.
Yes it is true that new zone BE's will not be created and to get these
into the new global zone BE it will require the use of zoneadm attach
-u. Once this is done these zones will no longer be available with in
the old global zone BE. However this does allow the user to retain the
use of these zones in the new global zone BE whereas workaround_1 above
eliminates that possibility.
if you want to swicth back to a previous build later, eg. 132 (because there's
something in 133 that prevents you from doing what you want), the Zones BE
will no longer match the global BE, eg. GZ BE 132, NGZ BE will still be 133.
Zone not usable anymore in previous BE 132.
This is true. There are ways to work around this but they are not very
straightforward and not recommend.
Workaround_2 is still probably the easiest and most complete workaround
if you wish to have access to the zones within both the old global zone
BE and the new one.
