just wondering if you have to re-download and burn the 4 iso's every time you
want to get the latest nevada build or if there is a simpler way. thanks!
For my upgrades, I maintain an install server with the latest build
and do network installs. It's a fairly easy system to get going, and
you can create the install server using the iso images without burning
them.
You can do the same with Live Upgrade if you don't want to setup network
installs.
You can't do that on a running system though, right? My understanding
is that you clone your environment to new slices, upgrade it, and then
boot /that/.
That is how I do it; Download the DVD ISO images, cat them together and
use lofiadm to mount them. Using an existing copy of the active boot
environment, I use liveupgrade to upgrade the inactive boot-environment
while the active one is running. I then activate the new environment and
reboot into it.
I upgraded from build 33 to build 36 on Friday using this exact method,
not a CD or DVD in sight. I was able to catch up on E-mail at the same
time as the upgrade was running. LiveUpgrade really is a nice piece of
work.
John Rice's blog has the instructions, it is down at the moment though
(at least I can not get to it);
