John,

You can't rename the currently running boot environment.  In your
situation now, you can create a clone of the current BE and name
it whatever you want, then activate it and reboot.  Then destroy
to old one.

    # beadm create <new_name>
    # beadm activate <new_name>
    # reboot

    ....

    # beadm destroy opensolaris-4
