Live Upgrade Rocks

I know that live upgrade has been available for a while...What I don't
know is why I never really used it before.

Conceptually it makes sense but it was cool how easy it was to upgrade.
I need to see it in larger environemnts with complex application
deployments, but so far so good

# lucreate -c "Nevada16" -m /dev/dsk/c0d0t4:/:ufs -n "Nevada18"
# lustatus (see output below)
# lofiadm -a /var/tmp/solarisdvd.iso /dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hfsf  /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
# luupgrade -u -n "Nevada18" -s /mnt
# luactivate Nevada18
# init 6
# lustatus (See output below)




Before: 

lustatus
