Yes, with Solaris 10 8/07 you can use Solaris Live Upgrade for patching and upgrading systems with Solaris Containers. This offers two important operational advantages, particularly around patching. • You can patch without taking the system offline because you patch a copy of the system. Patching Containers is a serial operation, so patching without taking the system off-line is a major advantage. • After patching the copy, you then can boot from that copy. Should you experience a problem, you can easily revert back to the original environment. A new Sun Blueprint, “Patching Mirrored Systems with the Solaris Live Upgrade Software” is available.
