what is volume containing configuration you want to use on 10.2.4?

 

 

if hd1.1, boot into hd1.1 and just install 10.2.4 hf5 into hd1.2. you do not need to install 10.2.4 first. just install hf5. 10.2.4 will be installed automatically. configuration in hd1.1 will be rolled forward to hd1.2 by default.

 

 

hope this helps.

 

That installatoin method doesn't work any more (Certainly not in v11, I think it used to in v10, because I used to do the same, but it's probably not supported there either). You have to install the Base first without a reboot, THEN install the HF onto the newly installed base.

 

If you rely on LTM to install the base itself by only installing the HF direct, you usually get a failure pointing at a SOL note that says you failed because you're running Partitions... And various strange erros about runningout of space etc...
