The Solaris 8 Operating Environment includes the new Solaris Live Upgrade feature, which substantially reduces the usual service outage associated with an operating system upgrade. Solaris Live Upgrade technology can be used for patch testing and rollout. Solaris Live Upgrade technology enables Solaris 7 and 2.6 systems to continue to run normally while an administrator installs and configures Solaris 8 software on these systems. When satisfied, the administrator simply reboots the system to run the new operating environment. Solaris Live Upgrade also supports version migration and fallback.
Administrators can save their previous environment and reload it with a simple reboot.
Solaris Live Upgrade even supports synchronizing differences in the production and alternative boot environments. Solaris Web Start Components and Downloads Web Start Flash, Solaris JumpStart, and Solaris Live Upgrade are included with the Solaris Operating Environment. All rights reserved. Terms of Use .
