liveupgrade -t problems for sol8-sol10
I'm trying to use liveupgrade to get one if my solaris 8 boxes to solaris 10, and am currently trying to patch the inactive solaris10 BE. However I get the following error:
# luupgrade -t -n 'solaris10' -l /var/tmp/patchbe.errs -o /var/tmp/sol10_patchbe -s /export/patches/sol10_patches/ patch_order.26sep06

Mounting the BE <solaris10>.
ERROR: The boot environment <solaris10> supports non-global zones.The current boot environment does not support non-global zones. Releases prior to Solaris 10 cannot be used to maintain Solaris 10 and later releases that include support for non-global zones. You may only execute the specified operation on a system with Solaris 10 (or later) installed.

Which appears to say you cannot use luupgrade -t on a system without non-global zones, i.e. it is impossible to use luupgrade -t on a solaris8 system to patch an inactive solaris10 BE. Is this a bug or am I missing something...?
