Re: Need Help Live Upgrade and ZFS Issues

OK -- thank you so much for your help.  With boot -L was able to figure out
the message I was getting from the Sun docs:

If you have multiple ZFS BEs on your SPARC based system, you can use the boot
-L command. For example:
ok boot -L
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@3,0:a  File and args: -L
1 solaris
2 solaris-1
Select environment to boot: [ 1 - 2 ]: 2

To boot the selected entry, invoke:
boot [<root-device>] -Z rpool/ROOT/solaris-1

Program terminated
ok boot -Z rpool/ROOT/solaris-1

and did per the example.  Now I have successfully booted back into the new BE
and mounted my zpools.  I still have an error caused by my working with the LU
revert instructions --

cannot mount '/mnt': directory is not empty
svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: WARNING: /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a failed:
exit status 1
May 18 17:47:24 svc.startd[10]: svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: Method
"/lib/svc/method/fs-local" failed with exit status 95.
May 18 17:47:24 svc.startd[10]: system/filesystem/local:default failed
fatally: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)

This has to do with those LU revert instructions where I set the BE mountpoint
to /mnt -- of that I am sure.  I just have to figure out now how to reset all
the Bes and so forth back to a sane default mountpoint.  And need to remember
never to use that old BE or just delete it.  Still not wholly out of the woods
but feel I can go and have some food and a beer and finish up tomorrow.
