I don't think you've provided any useful information to indict SMF. Both bootadm and manifest-import failed to find executables that are part of (or dependencies of) core-os, and pkg failed to find image metadata that should always be present. Collectively, these problems indicate something much more fundamentally wrong with your system. As Shawn suggested separately, pkgadd is almost certainly not the culprit here. I suspect there are other commands, not mentioned in your notes, that also affected the root filesystem of the broken BE. Nonetheless, if you can send a pointer to the allegedly problematic SVr4 package, I can certainly pkgadd it to a recent system and confirm or deny that portion of my assertions. --Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: casper....@oracle.com [mailto:casper....@oracle.com] > Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 11:27 AM > To: Johnny Liu > Cc: Shawn Walker; pkg-discuss@opensolaris.org; smf-disc...@opensolaris.org > Subject: Re: [smf-discuss] Oracle smf bootadm gurus please help me > > >> I can boot the system to the older BE without problem, but all my old >> configurations (like zfs pools, vols etc) are in the troubled BE. >> Is there any ways to recover my old configurations? > > > If they are all zfs related configuration, then all that configuration is > part of the zpools themselves. > > If you created new pools in the broklen be, then you may just be able to > import them.
