hello all, i have the same problem that: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=73891&tstart=0
after reading this post, i deleted all the ancient BE, but still refuses to activate new BE. What i notice is that, even if i can boot into b98, the /opt dataset is empty, and the mountpoint is very strange. Finally, i rebooted into b97, and try to delete the BE b98, just to restart the upgrade. b97 is called opensolaris-2 b98 is called opensolaris-4 i'am in STEP1, after booting b98 (yes b98 is bootable), and as i noticed that /opt is empty, i tried to modify the mountpoint. That explains the mountpoints for opensolaris-4 --------- STEP1 --------- bash-3.2$ zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 16.4G 2.72G 62K /rpool [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19.5K - 55K - rpool/ROOT 8.90G 2.72G 18K /rpool/ROOT rpool/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 15K - 18K - rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-2 24.6M 2.72G 4.44G legacy rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-2/opt 825K 2.72G 2.29G /opt rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-4 8.88G 2.72G 4.47G /tmp/tmpSFVCKC rpool/ROOT/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.63G - 2.22G - rpool/ROOT/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:-:2008-09-19-20:05:57 497M - 4.44G - rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-4/opt 2.29G 2.72G 2.29G /opt rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-4/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 230K - 3.60M - rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-4/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:-:2008-09-19-20:05:57 0 - 2.29G - rpool/apps 262M 2.72G 262M /usr/local rpool/export 7.25G 2.72G 19K /export rpool/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 15K - 19K - rpool/export/home 7.25G 2.72G 6.98G /export/home rpool/export/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 19K - 21K - rpool/export/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 284M - 5.04G - --------- STEP2 --------- bash-3.2$ pfexec zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/tmpSFVCKC/opt rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-4/opt --------- STEP3 --------- bash-3.2$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-4 Unable to activate opensolaris-4. opensolaris-4 does not exist or appear to be a valid BE.

This action cannot be undone(y/[n]): y The BE that was just destroyed was the 'active on boot' BE. opensolaris-2 is now the 'active on boot' BE. Use 'beadm activate' to change it. Unable to destroy opensolaris-4. BE promotion failed. bash-3.2$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-2 Unable to activate opensolaris-2. BE promotion failed. How can i repair that? thanks in advance, gerard _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
