Hi Alex,

I was under the impression that a "pkg image-update" would update all pkgs on

system i.e. in the same way "yum -y update" does. This does not seem to be the
case.
Im kinda confused as to what "pkg image-update" is actually meant to do. Can
anyone enlighten me ?
It does, sort of. The difference with OpenSolaris is that it's
integrated with the Live Upgrade feature which uses ZFS clones, so it
updates to an alternate boot environment. You'll need to activate the
new boot environment and reboot through beadm(1M). See

It's possible that there's not much (if anything... I seem to recall
updating once) to update, since you likely are likely using the release
repository. This should just get you publicly available fixes to the
current packages (kind of like patches), not upgrades. The next set of
updates expected to hit the /release repository will likely be in June
of this year.
If you're looking to go to the latest development releases (where many
things will be updated!), change your pkg configuration to point to the
dev/ repository as discussed on the pkg project page:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/
Hope that helps,
- Matt
