FWIW - I ran into this problem with R151024 on an R720 also when trying to
install on a USB stick - the install worked and would boot, but updating would
not.

Subject: [OmniOS-discuss] beadm activate error
Hello,
i have a strange situation on a Dell R320 server with the omniosce 20180530
(also with the r151026). I installed omnios on a usb stick inside the server,
not on the hdds.
When i pkg update, the new boot environment is not activated, it starts with
the original boot environment. When i try to activate the new one with beadm,
there is this error:
$ sudo beadm activate -v omnios-2
be_do_installboot: device c5t0d0
be_do_installboot: install failed for device c5t0d0.
Command: "/usr/sbin/installboot -m -f /tmp/.be.BDaasb/boot/pmbr
/tmp/.be.BDaasb/boot/gptzfsboot /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0s1"
Errors:
open: No such file or directory
Unable to open device /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0s1
be_run_cmd: command terminated with error status: 1
Unable to activate omnios-2.
Error installing boot files.
Obviously, there is no device with dev/rdsk/c5* on my system. When i change the
device to the correct one, beadm says there are problems with opening or
reading the tmp directory. Although zpool says so:
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c5t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
I exported and re-imported the rpool, which changed the device-name from c6* to
c5*.
The usb was formated as fat32 with mbr, on a mac. Shpuld i use a special format
for omnios/illumos?
Thanks!
