VxVM not working with Liveupgrade

Dear Solaris Gurus,

I am in process of upgrading my server running on Solaris 8 (having VxVM 3.5, MP4) to Solaris 9. The process I followed is as below:

1. Identified a disk which was not under control of VxVM

2. Created boot environment called SOLARIS9

3. Upgraded boot environment using luupgrade commnad

4. Activated SOLARIS9 boot environment.

5. Rebooted server using init 6 command.

After above procedure, I was able to see my OS upgraded to Solaris 9,,,, but all VxVM volumes were not able to mount.

(<a href="mailto:root&#64;xyzserver" target="_blank">root@xyzserver</a>)/=> mount /dev/vx/dsk/misc/vjumpstart /jumpstart

UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: /jumpstart not a directory

or a component of /dev/vx/dsk/misc/vjumpstart is not a directory

(<a href="mailto:root&#64;xyzserver" target="_blank">root@xyzserver</a>)/=> mkdir v1

(<a href="mailto:root&#64;xyzserver" target="_blank">root@xyzserver</a>)/=> mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/misc/vjumpstart /v1

UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: /v1 not a directory

or a component of /dev/vx/dsk/misc/vjumpstart is not a directory

However, I am able to run all veritas commands. But not able to mount those volumes.

I am pretty sure that there must be some special process to make VxVM volumes working after liveupgrade method. If somebody has done such upgrade, please provide me necessary guidelines.

Thanks and best regards,

Vikas
