[indiana-discuss] BE problem

[Aubrey Li]

Hi folks,

I'm just starting to learn BE.
1) BE can't be activated
# beadm list

BE          Active Active on Mountpoint Space
Name               reboot               Used
----        ------ --------- ---------- -----
opensolaris yes    yes       legacy     3.27G

# beadm create test
# beadm list

BE          Active Active on Mountpoint Space
Name               reboot               Used
----        ------ --------- ---------- -----
test        no     no        -          66.5K
opensolaris yes    yes       legacy     3.27G

# beadm activate test
beadm: Unable to activate test

Did I do anything wrong or did I miss anything?

2) BE list after pkg image-update to SNV_90
$ beadm list
	BE            Active Active on Mountpoint     Space
	Name                 reboot                   Used
	----          ------ --------- ----------     -----
	opensolaris-1 no     yes       -              17.06M
	opensolaris   yes    no        -              33.92M
This looks a bit confused to me.
Assume we use some tools like BFU to upgrade system,
BFU will change the existing mounted BE, not the new one.
So I thought the existing one "opensolaris" will be the upgraded
BE and "opensolaris-1" keeps the previous BE.

Please correct me, :-)

Thanks,
