I find upgrading without CDROM not any more difficult. Using live-upgrade you can simply lofi-mount the .iso image and perform the upgrade. The .iso image can even be NFS mounted.
If someone didn’t plan for live-upgrading the machine, it’s the right time to implement it. The latest Solaris 10 release has a couple of interesting things over 10/08. If the machine already has a ZFS root upgrading is plain simple:
(from the top of my head)
# lofiadm -a `pwd`/sol-10-.iso # mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt # cd /mnt/Solaris_10/ # ./liveupgrade20 # luuprgrade -u -n s10_10_09 -s /mnt # luactivate s10_10_09 # init 6
Done.
But read the docs before you do it. And don’t forget to update your liveupgrade with the liveupgrade20 script on the iso image.
