Here is the short story about of my Live Upgrade problem. This is not the first time I am doing , but my previous attempts did not give me any trouble of falling back to previous versions. I am not sure if it is long gap between versions I am trying to upgrade or not. Today I tried LU from snv_93 to snv_101a on a x86 system. First I have created new target BE , upgraded and then activated it. The system could not boot into snv_101a , as the system could not mount one or more FS. Then I booted into failsafe mode of 101a and then tried to run the following command as given in luactivate output. But it says invalid daraset name. So my question is what can I do to fall back to previous BE snv_93? # mount -F zfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 /mnt cannot open ''/dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0'': invalid dataset name Thanks Nandini

The mount command didn''t work, too. Fix was to boot back into b110 (see ''boot -L''), calling luactivate once more and init 6 .

Does this have to be done from booting into failsafe mode of new BE?
