How did you update your system?
Below is the correct procedure to update your system:
I
General instructions on updating to the latest OpenSolaris development build
== =
1) Before using the image-update subcommand, it is recommended that
the latest available version of the IPS software be installed for your
current boot environment
$ BUILD=`uname -v | sed s/snv_//`
$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg install [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$ pfexec pkg install [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2) Before proceeding to the next step, verify your OpenSolaris build
number
$ echo $BUILD
3) If you are running build 93 or greater, you can use image-update
directly as follows
$ pfexec pkg image-update
4) If you are using a build prior to 93, it is recommended one apply
the update directly to an alternate boot environment. First, display
the list of the existing BEs on the system
$ beadm list
BE Active Active on Mountpoint Space
Name reboot Used
-- - -- -
opensolaris no no - 33.92M
opensolaris-1 yes yes - 17.06M
Next, choose the name of a new BE - if the most recent created BE is of
the form opensolaris-” where is an integer, then a suitable
choice for the new BE is “opensolaris-“. In the above example,
the new BE would be “opensolaris-2″.
Then, execute the following sequence to create, mount, update and
activate the new BE
$ pfexec beadm create opensolaris-
$ pfexec beadm mount opensolaris- /mnt
$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update
$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-
5) If you are running build 86, one additional work-around is
required.
IMPORTANT
Due to changes in the GRUB boot system, one must manually update the
Master Boot Record (MBR) to include these latest changes. Failure to
follow these instructions when updating from 2008.05 (build 86) to a
later build will result in a system that does not boot by default and
instead the original boot environment must be manually selected.
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.
