You seem to detect a very sore point in the new grub based boot.
I thought that this could not happen in a "stable" environment
as I did previously have this kind of problems on a development
machine (typically after I did test a new driver binary).
You run "only" 600 Solaris instances, but big hosting provisers
as e.g. Strato may run 30000 instances....currently sparc. What
happenes after Sparc also uses a grub based boot for ZFS?
I would call this aserious bug and I propose to add code to the
boor recovery scripts that automatically try to create a new boot
archive and reboot. This seems to be a similar problem as UFS
inconsistency in the root FS that after fsck did repair the root FS
needed a reboot instead of a "mount -o remount,rw /"
