Solaris Live Upgrade significantly reduces the downtime
associated with an operating system upgrade or maintenance. It
enables the Solaris 9, 8, 7, and 2.6 Operating Systems to continue
to run while an administrator upgrades to the latest release of the
Operating System, applies patches or does routine maintenance on
the inactive or duplicate boot environment. When satisfied with the
process, the administrator simply reboots the system to run the
latest or updated operating environment.
Solaris Live Upgrade technology reduces the usual service
outage typically associated with an operating system upgrade.
Solaris Live Upgrade enables Solaris 9, 8, 7, and 2.6 Operating
Systems to continue to run normally while an administrator upgrades
or performs normal maintenance on an inactive boot
environment.
Solaris Live Upgrade 2.0 integration with Web Start Flash technology
enables system administrators to install a complete pre-tested,
pre-configured system image rapidly on a new inactive boot
environment while the production boot environment is fully
operational.
Solaris Live Upgrade supports fallback to previous environment
in case of failure with the upgraded environment. Administrators
can reload their previous environments and with a simple reboot if
necessary.
