upgrade from 9 to 10 - disk space issues?
We're trying to upgrade a number of sparc servers from Solaris 9 to 10 (06/06) using a network install server and jumpstart. Most of the machines have mirrored disks using disksuite.
We're getting to the stage when the upgrade process runs pfinstall and this is failing with ...
Checking file system space: 100% completed
ERROR: The root filesystem is a mirror or the vfstab contains a metadevice. Disk space reallocation is not allowed.
(this is after it's listed the packages it plans to update).
From googling I think this is a misleading message. I think it actually means that it wants more space in the root file system to perform the upgrade.The root filesystem _is_ a mirror but the upgrade process notices this and says that it's going to operate on one of the submirrors. We've commented all the other filesystems out of vfstab (we don't have separate /usr or /var).
Thoughts? Is there any way we can get more information out of pfinstall about what it thinks the problem is? Is there something that will tell us how much space is required for the upgrade? There's over 2G free - should that be enough for something using the SUNWCprog cluster?
