Lustatus - ERROR

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello,

I'd appreciate any thoughts or pearls of wisdom on this issue. I can't find anything that helps. I even had to look on page 2 of my google search results :eek:

Scenario:
This is a Solaris10 Jan13 x86/64 VM that I stood up last week. I'm trying to prep for a Live Upgrade next month.

I was(am) having trouble getting lucreate to work. While I was troubleshooting, I noticed that there are *no* active BEs. Isn't that an issue? Could that be why lucreate is failing?

Here is some output for you:

# lustatus
ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
ERROR: cannot determine list of all boot environment names
# lucurr
ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
ERROR: cannot determine boot environment name for mount point </>

Thanks for your time.

Found an obsurce google search result that suggested to check the /etc/lutab file.

Sure enough, this VM didn't have one. So I created it and added my BE details. Oracle says not to tamper with the /etc/lutab file, but hey, I took a chance.

Now, lustatus is returning an expected result.

So you're saying that you've fixed the issue and are making progress?

I'm saying I'm making progress.

I am hesitant to say that its a good fix until I do a live upgrade on that ABE next month. I will follow up and let the community know if this fixed the issue.
