Stewart, thanks for replying;
Actually I was looking for a way to 'view' or list BE's (boot environment).
I'm not familiar with these at all, as I'm really new to OSOL, but, I
have indeed noticed that updating / upgrading ends up in a 'new' BE.
When I do a reboot I usually don't sit next to it to view what's
happening, and this means that maybe yes, maybe no I may be booting the
older OR the newer BE?
So in short, how do I list BE's, and how do I know which BE I 'm in?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Erwin,
I'm pretty sure the Solaris 8/9/10 conventions of upgrading using
lustatus and lucreate have been replaced by IPS + ZFS snapshots +
multiple grub boot entries.
If you do a full system upgrade of opensolaris that includes a kernel
upgrade, packagemanager (IPS) or the console equivalents it will tell
you that it needs to upgrade the boot environment, saves the old
environment using a ZFS snapshot (and possibly some more magic), then
modifies the grub boot options to include the old and the new
environments as bootable options.
I'm probably offbase on the nitty gritty here, this is just what I've
noticed in a test environment working with at the moment.

Stewart

Hi,
Sorry for the double input. Subject line was not finished however.
I'm running:
er...@opensolaris:~$ uname -a
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_126 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
I can't seem to find lustatus or lucreate?
What am I missing? Do I have to separately install these?
Thank you,
Erwin
