I am planning to do solaris 11 global zone patching having solaris 10 branded zone. I have a doubts on step 8 specially
Can someone clear my step 8 doubts or if anything wrong between step 1 to step 9 please correct that also as I have pretty good idea about Step 10 mean patching in solaris 10 branded zone
solaris 11 GZ patching steps
1.) Halt all branded zones
zoneadm -z sol10bd halt
2.) Then Detach all solaris 10 branded
zoneadm -z sol10bd detach
3.) Solaris 11 Repository is already configured then we need to run below command for Solaris 11 global zone patching
#pkg update
4.)After patching of Solaris 11 complete then new BE will be create which has all the updated patches which we just install
#beadm list
5.) Activate the new BE
beadm activate <New-BE-name>
6.) Reboot the system
7.)After system up from new BE
beadm list
8.) Now I need to attach the Solaris 10 Branded Zone -----> Here my question is do we need to run " zoneadm -z sol10bd attach
" command or I need to forcely attach the branded zone " zoneadm -z sol10bd attach -F
"
Means I need to run which of the below two commands to attach solaris 10 branded zone
#zoneadm -z sol10bd attach
or
#zoneadm -z sol10bd attach -F
9.) After attaching Branded zone , We need to boot the Solaris 10 Branded zone
zoneadm -z sol10bd boot
10.)After booting to Branded zone login into it and copy the recommended patch cluster into branded zone and extract it. Further we can start patching it by creating a solaris 10 zfs root pool clone and then mount it and do the patching on that clone and after patching activate the clone & boot the system from clone
11.) Patching completed/
