Live Upgrade fails during upgrade from Solaris 10 U7 to U8
mbr
problem by updating Solaris 10 x86 from U7 to U8 with Live Upgrade.
ZFS root mirrored on 2 disks, no zones, no separate /var.
Should be an easy job for live upgrade.
Yes, liveupgrade20 has been applied from the lofi mounted U8.
Yes, 121431-44, the Live Upgrade Patch is installed.
luupgrade fails with:

Why does lucreate propagates /boot/grub/menu.lst?
It's a dummy, the real menu.lst is on /rpool/boot/grub.

It would appear that Live Upgrade is unable to read the media.
examine the /mnt dir and make sure you see the normal directory
structure
for a Solaris dvd ie.
ultra20:/> lofiadm -a /sol-10-u7-ga-x86-dvd.iso
/dev/lofi/1
ultra20:/> mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
ultra20:/> ls /mnt

One more straw, is the md5 checksum for the iso correct?

I was wrong, sorry. It does see the media correctly, I missed those
lines. My bad.

This is strange, I have three x86 system and a SPARC that I did a U7
to U8 Live Upgrade,
no problems with this part, couple of zone issues on one system but
that was it. I know this doesn't
help your issue other than to know it does work.
I think I would delete the BE, patch U7 to be up to date for at least
lu and pkgadd packages/patches
and try again.

I have initated a case with Sun Service.
They gave me the solution, it has something to do with:
CR 6415933 "upgrade fails when packages have empty SUNW_LOC fields".
Delete all lines with an empty value for "SUNW_LOC" in all /var/sadm/pkg/*/pkginfo files
(or in the corresponding /a files of the new BE if it is already created).
On my system I modified:
# grep SUNW_LOC= /var/sadm/pkg/*/pkginfo
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWsesscj/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC=
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWtfhlc/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC=
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWtfhlj/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC=
luupgrade works after this modification.
Michael.

At least until the Google Oracle do a wee bit of evil and break
their API, see:

As to Santhosh's question, my WAG is that he is not facing the same
issue as the OP.
