## Upgrading a `solaris10` Brand Zone in a Zone Cluster

Use the `clzonecluster show-rev` subcommand to check the cluster release information for each node of the zone cluster. For more information, see the `clzonecluster`(1CL) man page.

## How to Upgrade a `solaris10` Brand Zone in a Zone Cluster

There are four ways to upgrade a configured `solaris10` brand zone in a zone cluster. The procedure below describes how to perform each method, but you should choose only one method.

1. Bring the zone cluster into an offline-running state.

       phys-schost# clzonecluster reboot -o zoneclustername

2. Choose only one of the following upgrade methods to upgrade the `solaris10` brand zone.
   - To use the `clzonecluster install-cluster` command, issue the following command from the command line of one configured node of the global zone:

         phys-schost#clzonecluster install-cluster -p patchdir=patchdir \
         [,patchlistfile=filename] zoneclustername

     Use the new release patches for the `patchlistfile` property. For more information about the `clzonecluster install-cluster` subcommand, see the `clzonecluster`(1CL) man page.

   - To use the `patchadd` command, perform the following steps from inside the zone cluster for each configured zone-cluster node.
     1. Log in to the zone cluster.

            phys-schost# zlogin zoneclustername

     2. From the command line, type `patchadd`.

            zchost# patchadd

     3. Install the patches that correspond to the new release.
   - To use the `scinstall -u update` command, perform the following steps from inside the zone cluster for each configured zone-cluster node:
     1. Log in to the zone cluster.

            phys-schost# zlogin zoneclustername

     2. From the command line, type the following command.

            zchost# new-release-dvd-path/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_10/Tools/scinstall -u update

        In the path, `arch` is `sparc` or `x86`. For example:

            zchost# /net/my-machine/export/dvd/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_10/Tools/scinstall -u update

   - To use the interactive `scinstall` utility, perform the following steps from inside the zone cluster for each configured zone-cluster node:
     1. Log in to the zone cluster.

            phys-schost# zlogin zoneclustername

     2. Change to the DVD image directory inside the zone.

        You must run the `scinstall` utility from the latest DVD directory. For example:

            zchost# cd /net/my-machine/export/dvd/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_10/Tools/

        In the path, `arch` is `sparc` or `x86`.

     3. Start the `scinstall` utility.

            zchost# pwd
            /net/my-machine/export/dvd/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_10/Tools/
            zchost# ./scinstall

     4. Choose the Upgrade This Cluster Node menu item.

        The Upgrading Oracle Solaris Cluster on This Node menu is displayed.

     5. Follow the menu prompts to upgrade the `solaris10` brand zone on this zone cluster node.

        This action upgrades the Oracle Solaris Cluster framework and data service agents on this node.

     6. Quit the `scinstall` utility.

Troubleshooting

If the `scinstall -u update` command fails with a message that the `pkg(5)` command is out of date, follow the instructions in the message.
