SUMMARY: lucreate on system with non-global zones and SVM

Thanks to all who responded so quickly.   The command had a typo in it.  Once
I made the changes described below, it ran without a problem.

There are syntax errors in this if it's what you typed: should be



lucreate -n be3 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d100:ufs,mirror -m
/:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0,/dev/md/dsk/d120:detach,attach,preserve -m

/zones:/dev/md/dsk/d106:ufs,mirror -m

/zones:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6,/dev/md/d126:detach,attach,preserve



(two semicolons should be a colon and a comma, respectively).

Subject: lucreate on system with non-global zones and SVM

I am attempting to set up live upgrade on a solaris 10 system with non-global
sparse-root zones on SVM metadevices.  The / partition is on one mirrored
metadevice while the zone roots are on a separate mirrored metadevice.  I have
been able to successfully use the lucreate on another machine with mirrored
metadevices   that didn't have zones. In that case, I used one command to
break the mirror, create a new mirror and make that new mirror the new boot
environment.  However, when I add the zones and a second metadevice into the
mix, the command fails.

Here is the command I've been using:

lucreate -n be3 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d100:ufs,mirror -m
/:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0,/dev/md/dsk/d120:detach,attach,preserve -m
/zones:/dev/md/dsk/d106:ufs,mirror -m
/zones:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6,/dev/md/d126;detach;attach,preserve

and I get the following errors:

 # lucreate -n be3 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d100:ufs,mirror -m
/:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0,/dev/md/dsk/d120:detach,attach,preserve -m
/zones:/dev/md/dsk/d106:ufs,mirror -m

]
        [ -z filter_list-file ]

Has anyone else successfully created an alternate boot device in this
scenario?  I would appreciate any help you may have to offer.

Thank you
