On a booted OpenSolaris DomU you can use beadm to list/activate boot environments.

Just curious if anyone has played around with switching boot environments on OpenSolaris DomUs.

For example, in an OpenSolaris DomU, I can update the software with a "pkg image-update". This will create a new boot environment and schedule it to be the current BE on next reboot. This actually works well.

What I haven't played with is how I can switch to a previous BE, if for example the new BE fails.

At least with a paravirtualized OpenSolaris guest, I don't see the typical GRUB boot menu with all the different BEs listed. So I'm curious how one might boot from a different BE in this case.

Thanks..
