OK; Solaris 10 isn't (yet) the same thing as OpenSolaris. Solaris 10 (which is what you have) is upgradable using the usual Solaris methods of patching, "upgrade installs", and the Sun Update Manager (or whatever it's called this week). None of those options apply to "OpenSolaris" (e.e.g, SOlaris Express, Nextenta, Schillix, etc.), where the only way to update (currently) is to reinstall.

Solaris 10 can be updated, but if you'll a SunSolve login to do that (modulo the infrequent Update releases, which you can just download). With a SunSolve login you get $0 access to security patches; for access to all patches you'll need to purchase a support contract.
