Hi,

I try to do image-update from opensolaris 2008.05(nv86), but the command
failed, and the cause seems to be cannot create/copy BE.

$ pfexec pkg image-update
pkg: unable to create an auto snapshot. pkg recovery is disabled.
pkg: image-update cannot be done on live image

The last couple lines of image-update -v are:

pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.86:20080426T174943Z -> pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
,5.11-0.91:20080613T174335Z
None -> pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T182501Z
None -> pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T174340Z
None -> pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080613T182505Z
None
pkg: unable to create BE None
pkg: attempt to mount opensolaris failed.
pkg: image-update cannot be done on live image

It might worth note that I installed OpenSolaris in a partition with a
process roughly described at
http://blogs.sun.com/slowhog/entry/install_opensolaris_side_by_side.

I did some experiment on beadm command, and found that I cannot use the same
pool, but has to copy the BE to another pool. I.e, 'pfexec beadm create
test' says cannot create, but 'pfexec beadm create -p pool create test'
succeed. However, I cannot activate the new BE on other pool:

$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-1
beadm: Unable to activate opensolaris-1

Any ideas?

PS. After destroy the /opt zfs filesystem, beadm create now simply segment
fault. Is there an assumption there must be a /opt filesystem?

Cheers,
Henry
