Correct.

Two points:

1) the best way to do what you want is create a separate BE with beadm,
then convert that to xVM.

2) We believe that most machines outside of test environments will
remain in one or the other of the two environments. For other machines,
the BE method is still best, as it allows a separate update schedule for
when you are doing hypervisor test stuff
