I know this isn't really OpenSolaris related, but I don't know of a

I've just done the pkg image-update to take me from express 151.0.1.12.
I tried a couple of weeks ago, and was left with an unusable boot
environment. I was left without a graphical screen at a login prompt.
My old account was rejected "Login incorrect", and root said "empty
password not allowed". I didn't have time then to investigate, so I
just booted back into the old environment for a while.
I've just tried again, with the same result. Along the way were several
messages about services auto-snaphot:* "in conflict" and in maintenance,
and "hostname not found: ntp.whatever". No graphics, and no login as above.
I think like all the rest of us inconsequential supported customers,
you'll have to wait until the support repository is fixed before upgrading.
See CR 7112937 and this MOS document:
| Application of Solaris 11 Express SRUs May Erroneously Cause Packages
| to be Removed From the System [ID 1378614.1]
From what I've heard, the hack provided works, but not cleanly. So I'm
waiting rather than suffer the embarrassment of explaining away another
maintenance window....
