Starting and Stopping Solaris Live Upgrade (Character User Interface)

This procedure starts and stops the Solaris Live Upgrade menu program.

To Start Solaris Live Upgrade Menus

When viewing the character user interface remotely, such as over a tip line, you might need to set the TERM environment variable to VT220. Also, when using the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), set the value of the TERM variable to dtterm, rather than xterm.

Steps

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
