Hi Dick,
I have an OpenSolaris release running on my laptop with one disk
so I can't confirm your results below. But before you go the
snapshot route, let me see if I can get some info on the beadm
solution.
I have done similar transitions with LU on Nevada releases and
I can easily boot from either BE in either pool. I thought beadm
would be similar, but let me find out.
Thanks,
Cindy

Thomas,
Excellent and much better suggestion... :-)
You can use beadm to specify another root pool by using the -p option.
The beadm operation will set the bootfs pool property and update the
GRUB entry.
It turns out not to be excellent at all. Beadm does create a new ABE in
the new zpool, but the old zpool remains the leading zpool. This means
you can not destroy it from within the newly booted BE plus /export/...
comes from the "main" original zpool. The latter can be solved by
umounting with the -f option and remounting the /export from the new BE,
but the main issue is that the old zpool remains in charge. I'm gonna
try booting off an USB stick later this evening and if that fails will
go the way of restoring the system like Cindy mentions in her wonderful
ZFS manual.
