Hi,
I have some systems running older builds, like 2008.11, on which I now
need to do some testing with build 111b2 (a.k.a. 2009.06), and then move
on to build 116 without loosing the 2008.11 installation. I was hoping
there would be a way to use image-update to create a BE for 2009.06, and
then another BE for 116; but I see no way to tell image-update exactly
what I would like updated.
The easy way to do this is to create the boot environment you want, and
then to use the -R (just like pkgadd) option to pkg install to update
the "entire" incorporation, which will force the rest of the packages
to upgrade:
beadm create osol_2009.6
beadm mount osol_2009.6 /mnt
pkg -R /mnt install [email protected]@111
beadm unmount osol_2009.6
beadm activate osol_2009.6
Should do the trick for you.
This will update all wos packages; it won't get the latest version of
any unbundled pkgs, though.
