SUMMARY: Unable to reboot after LU

Hello managers,

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.  In the end I couldn't get the
machine to reboot sanely at all, and had to power cycle, after which
it came up cleaning into the new BE anyway.  However some of your
advice didn't come in time.  Herewith a summary of lessons learned:

* Ensure that after lucreate and luupgrade, that luactivate has been
run.  I did actually do this.
* Cal Dunigan points out that it's probably good practice not to do a
big jump from 6 to 9, and take intermediate steps.  I'd already done
one machine this morning straight from 6 to 9 and it worked fine, but
I think this is good advice.
* Be patient - often a reboot can take many minutes to take effect.
I've experienced this too and had waited more than 30 mins before
starting to investigate.
* Read the release notes! Had I done so (as John Leadeham did) I would
have found that a hang is known to occur while svc.startd halts
services.  I saw exactly the evidence that the notes point out, so I
suspect this was the problem.  For completeness, the workaround is :

# /usr/share/webconsole/private/bin/wcremove -i console
# svcadm clear system/webconsole:console
# smcwebserver start

Here's the original problem statement:

-----
I've just completed a live upgrade (on ZFS root) from 10u6 to 10u9:

# lustatus
Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy
Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
sol10u6                    yes      yes    no        no     -
sol10u9                    yes      no     yes       no     -

However, despite shutting down the oracle databases on this machine,
plus the other application, neither init 6 nor shutdown -y -i6 -g0
seems to have any effect.

who -r shows run level 6:

  .       run-level 6  May  6 23:27     6      0  3

Unless I'm missing something obvious (which is possible - it's late),
the process table doesn't appear to show any SMF service hanging:

I'm a bit stuck.  I'm concerned that if the machine is restarted
without the proper init process, the new BE won't boot, and I'm not
sure what will happen.

Thanks again for everyone's help.
