Re: using live upgrade with build 75

Hi,

doesn't Live Upgrade only upgrade the already existing packages (I never 
used live upgrade until now)?

If this is the case then the xVM packages are still missing and you 
should install them manually. AFAIK these packages are neccessary for xVM:

    * SUNWxvmdomr
    * SUNWxvmdomu
    * SUNWxvmr
    * SUNWxvmu
    * SUNWxvmhvm
    * SUNWPython
    * SUNWPython-extra
    * SUNWlxml-python
    * SUNWlxsl
    * SUNWlxsl-python
    * SUNWIPython

(installed in this order).

Note: I'm not sure, if all python packages are really neccessary for Xen.

In addition you must add the necessary entry to boot Xen manually in the 
file /boot/grub/menu.lst (at least in my tests this was necessary):

title Solaris xVM
kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz
module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix 
/platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive
