Besides Jason's comments, I also list what I found for snap upgrade: 1. Page 12: How to Destroy an Existing Boot Environment In this example, ... which or what example?
2. Page 12: How to Destroy an Existing Boot Environment Note - ... "-f" should be "-F" 3. Page 13: How to Display Information About Your Boot Environments, Snapshots, and Datasets "Become superuser or assume an equivalent role." is not needed. 4. Page 14: Example 1?4 The output of "beadm list -s BE2" should only list snapshots of BE2. Also should with the latest format. See # beadm list -s newbe BE/Snapshot Space Policy Created ----------- ----- ------ ------- newbe newbe at install 106.53M static 2008-10-07 15:23 newbe at newbe 83.0K static 2008-10-17 14:09 5. Page 18: beadm create -p zpool: It is not support in current opensolaris release, though beadm usage will display this. 6. Page 19: beadm destroy Syntax: beadm destroy [-fF] beName | beName at snapshot -f -F 7. Page 19: beadm list Syntax: beadm list [-a | -ds] [-H] [beName] 8. Page 19: beadm mount The mount point could be a directory not existing 9. Page 20: beadm unmount Syntax: beadm unmount [-f] beName -f Forcefully unmount the boot environment even if its currently busy.
