You answered my question.  My thought was since /usr and others were shared by 
the global zone, that booting off a new image would upgrade zones, but just 
wanted clarification.

Thanks

SmartOS zones are sparse, so there are two parts to the zone upgrade to
consider. There are the sparse contents, /usr and /lib from the global
zone, and there is everything else.

For /usr and /lib, you need to reboot onto a newer smartos platform and
the zones will be taken care of automatically. Everything in the zone,
pkgsrc and the like, is independent of that.

What in particular is it that you want to change?
