zfs discuss - Nov 2009 - Proper way to make bootable ZFS slice on SPARC?

Hey everyone -

I''m trying to live upgrade a Solaris 10 5/08 system on UFS to Solaris
10 10/90 on ZFS.

/ is mounted on c1t0d0s0 (UFS). I have a 2nd disk, c1t1d0, that is not being
used and is available for the ZFS migration.

What is the correct procedure for making a bootable ZFS slice? This is what I am
doing:

format -e c1t1d0
- label, SMI label, yes
- partition, modify, all free hog, yes, free hog on partition 0, defaults (size
0 for partitions 1-7), make this current partition table (yes), name
"zfs", yes label, quit, quit


lucreate -c ufsBE -n Solaris1009 -p boot
Analyzing system configuration.
No name for current boot environment.
Current boot environment is named <ufsBE>.
[b]ERROR: ZFS pool <boot> does not support boot environments[/b]

Argh! What is wrong? lucreate will not tell me.

Sorry, I forgot to put this in the post:

I did "zpool create boot c1t1d0s0" after the format command and before
the lucreate command and got that error once I ran lucreate.

Thanks!

Your system must be in Solaris 10 10/08 (update 6) to provide ZFS boot support
before going from UFS to ZFS.

1st update to Update 6

then move from UFS to ZFS.
