I was wrong, sorry. It does see the media correctly, I missed those
lines. My bad.

This is strange, I have three x86 system and a SPARC that I did a U7
to U8 Live Upgrade,
no problems with this part, couple of zone issues on one system but
that was it. I know this doesn't
help your issue other than to know it does work.

I think I would delete the BE, patch U7 to be up to date for at least
lu and pkgadd packages/patches
and try again.

I have initated a case with Sun Service.
They gave me the solution, it has something to do with:
CR 6415933 "upgrade fails when packages have empty SUNW_LOC fields".

Delete all lines with an empty value for "SUNW_LOC" in all /var/sadm/pkg/*/pkginfo files
(or in the corresponding /a files of the new BE if it is already created).

On my system I modified:

# grep SUNW_LOC= /var/sadm/pkg/*/pkginfo
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWsesscj/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC=
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWtfhlc/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC=
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWtfhlj/pkginfo:SUNW_LOC=

luupgrade works after this modification.

Michael.
