Hi everybody, with the NV gate machine now running OpenSolaris, we need to get our procedures straight for updating between builds.
At the moment we've got an snv_121 "whole build" (for want of a better term), and a few child BEs for nightly builds which we operate on like this: beadm create nightly-2009-08-31 beadm mount nightly-2009-08-31 /mnt bfu /path/to/archives /mnt acr /mnt beadm umount nightly-2009-08-31 beadm activate nightly-2009-08-31 reboot Which is all well+good but when we want to go from, eg, snv_121 to snv_122 there's a bit of uncertainty about an appropriately blessed procedure. What I did today was to run beadm mount snv_121 /mnt pkg -R /mnt image-update beadm umount snv_121 beadm activate snv_121 which was fine except that this updated the actual snv_121 BE to be snv_122 - not what I expected! Perhaps I should have created a new BE first and then used the --be-name arg? In order to go from a non-whole build to a whole build, do we have to reboot back to the previous whole build, or can we just pkg image-update and trust that the right thing will be done? Thankyou in advance for any+all clarification. James C.
