Hi, I'm a big fan of live upgrade. I'm also a big fan of ZFS boot. The latter is more important for me. And yes, I'm looking forward to both being integrated with each other.
Meanwhile, what is the best way to upgrade a post-b61 system that is booted from ZFS? I'm thinking: 1. Boot from ZFS 2. Use Tim's excellent multiple boot datasets script to create a new cloned ZFS boot environment: http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/an_easy_way_to_manage 3. Loopback mount the new OS ISO image 4. Run the installer from the loopbacked ISO image in upgrade mode on the clone 5. Mark the clone to be booted the next time 6. Reboot into the upgraded OS. Questions: - How exactly do I do step 4? Before, luupgrade did everything for me, now what manpage do I need to do this? - Did I forget something above? I'm ok with losing some logfiles and stuff that maybe changed between the clone and the reboot, but is there anything else? - Did someone already blog about this and I haven't noticed yet?
