This is not a problem on Solaris 10. It can affect OpenSolaris, though.
That's precisely the opposite of what I thought. Care to explain?
In Solaris 10, you are stuck with LiveUpgrade, so the root pool is
not shared with other boot environments.
Richard,
You have fallen out of touch with Solaris 10, which is still a moving
target. While the Live Upgrade commands you are familiar with in
Solaris 10 still mostly work as before, they *do* take advantage of
zfs's features and boot environments do share the same root pool just
like in OpenSolaris. Solaris 10 Live Upgrade is dramatically improved
in conjunction with zfs boot. I am not sure how far behind it is from
OpenSolaris new boot administration tools but under zfs its function
can not be terribly different.
