In addition there is luupgrade :-)

There are two ways that I use luupgrade, to patch and to upgrade to a new 
release. Other uses are package maintainence and extracting flash archives 
to a boot environment.

Adding patches is accomplished by:
luupgrade -t -n BE_name -s patch_path patch [patch...]

This will mount the alternate boot environment and add the patch to it and 
umount it again. Basically this is doing a 'patchadd -R' to the alterante 
boot environment.

Removing patches is done similarly with 'luupgrade -T -n BE_name patch'

A system can be upgraded to a new release using luupgrade also. This works 
for a 'real' release  (eg. Solaris 10 update 3) or builds of nv.

The simplest way to use this is 'luupgrade -u -n BE_name -s os_image_path', 
  a -j option can be used to point to a jumpstart profile if needed.

Cheers,
