First thing to try is setting BE_PRINT_ERR=1 then running the beadm activate command again.

Hope that helps,
Brock

If that doesn't make things clear, please show us the output of beadm list and zfs list, and then perhaps trying running truss on beadm activate.

Hello,

I installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 on a Sun v40z machine.

Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.11      snv_101b        November 2008

I tried to update to GA with image-update

r...@yajug:~# pkg list -u


r...@yajug:~# pkg image-update
PHASE                                        ACTIONS

pkg: unable to activate opensolaris-1

r...@yajug:~# beadm activate opensolaris-1
Unable to activate opensolaris-1.
Unknown external error.


How can I further diagnose / solve this ??



Thanks for your help

Unfortunately the build I use, although being 101b was not the latest one, i.e. it was a couple of hours before GA : NAME (AUTHORITY) VERSION STATE UFIX entire 0.5.11-0.101 installed u--- I followed the same procedure with the same image on a couple of VMs and it was always OK
