Last updated on MAY 09, 2024
Applies to:
Solaris Cluster - Version 4.2 to 4.2 [Release 4.2]Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
When a zone on a Solaris Cluster is failed over and the zone is booted to a new BE boot environment you may see that an additional backup boot environment was created. In addition if there is no boot environment of global zone is associated with zone's BE it is essentially an orphan boot environment as it can no longer be updated or changed and it is not automatically deleted either. Before Solaris 11.3 these BEs may not be easy to recognize.
Changes
Solaris 11.3 has been incorporated code change to better handle orphan zone boot environments and Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 is using those enhancements.
