To quote the posted link ----------- The command "pkg image-update" can be used to update an OpenSolaris 2008.05 system to build 89 or later. However due to changes in the GRUB boot system, one must manually update the Master Boot Record (MBR) to include these latest changes.
When "pkg image-update" completes successfully, it will print a message of the form A clone of opensolaris exists and has been updated and activated. On next boot the Boot Environment opensolaris-1 will be mounted on '/'. Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE. The name of the newly created clone can also be seen by looking for the "Active on reboot" entry in the output of the "beadm list" command $ beadm list BE Active Active on Mountpoint Space Name reboot Used ---- ------ --------- ---------- ----- opensolaris-1 no yes - 17.06M opensolaris yes no - 33.92M First, mount the clone under the /mnt directory $ pfexec mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 /mnt Next, update the GRUB configuration on your ZFS boot device(s) using $ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt When you're ready to boot into the updated boot environment, you can reboot(1M) or init(1M) as usual. --------- Note that this should not be required for the next update. Also once you have successfully updated, you may remove the older snapshot by doing 'beadm destroy <name>' This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
