Hi,

Some points:
The OpenSolaris installation program does not support creating more than
one slice on disk -- so if you have only one disk you only have on pool.
So if you want to install more distributions on a machine with only one
disk (for testing for example) they all have to be installed in the
same pool
Ah OK I see what the problem is now and I understand why you are trying to do
it. The current bits don't support this but like Dave mentioned there are RFE's
for doing this kind of installation. There is not an existing RFE for adding
this functionality to beadm so as you mentioned filing one is a good idea..
Thank you for the clarification!

That doesn't mean you can't fake one up outside of beadm as

however that's not a supported method for creating BE's. Plus the
ability to
do this will probably be impacted going forwad as more BE validation is
added to beadm. We will likely not support BE's created outside
beadm once
that validation work is complete. (see bug 891)
I see. So what is the recommended method of using the same zpool for
multiple OS?
Is it by creating a BE using beadm and overwriting its content? Or is
this completely unsupported, and we should have one pool for each OS?

I don't know of any support for installing multiple OS's in the same
pool.
I'm not sure I understand what problem is being solved by attempting
to install multiple OS's in the same pool.
