No, beadm doesn't take care of all the steps that I provided
previously and included below.

You can use the OpenSolaris beadm command to migrate a ZFS BE over
to another root pool, but you will also need to perform some manual
migration steps, such as
- copy over your other rpool datasets
- recreate swap and dump devices
- install bootblocks
- update BIOS and GRUB entries to boot from new root pool
The BE recreation gets you part of the way and its fast, anyway.
!. Create the second root pool.
# zpool create rpool2 c5t1d0s0
2. Create the new BE in the second root pool.
# beadm create -p rpool2 osol2BE
3. Activate the new BE.
# beadm activate osol2BE
4. Install the boot blocks.
5. Test that the system boots from the second root pool.
6. Update BIOS and GRUB to boot from new pool.

Does beadm take care of all the other steps that need to happen? I
imagine you'd have to keep rpool around otherwise ...
I ended up doing an offline copy to a new pool, which I renamed to
rpool at the end to avoid any problems
