The "pkg" commands are only on OpenSolaris, e.g, the 2008.05 release. snv_89 or _91 is the classic Solaris version instead, so no "pkg" commands. There's also no "updatemanager", since this is for patches on a released OS such as Solaris 10, not Nevada. Instead, for snv_91, you're *supposed* to be able to either: - boot from a DVD of the snv_91 image and select an upgrade install. This may fail though if it thinks your system is not upgradable for whatever reason (which it may not explain). Such as low disk space, corrupted package DB, for example. - or you can use "live upgrade" while the old OS is running. So I can't explain why the upgrade fails. Maybe ask on the install-discuss mailing list, or opensolaris-help? But the "pkg" command is definitely not going to work to upgrade snv_*.
