Patching solaris 10 on Solaris 11 Global zone

From inside a solaris10 branded zone, create a new boot environment, patch it, activate it, and boot to it:

1. Create a new boot environment:

# zfs snapshot -r rpool/ROOT/zbe-0@snap

# zfs clone -o mountpoint=/ -o canmount=noauto rpool/ROOT/zbe-0@snap rpool/ROOT/zbe-1

# zfs promote rpool/ROOT/zbe-1

 

If the boot environment has /var as a separate dataset, also do the following:

# zfs clone -o mountpoint=/var -o canmount=noauto rpool/ROOT/zbe-0/var@snap rpool/ROOT/zbe-1/var

# zfs promote rpool/ROOT/zbe-1/var

2. Patch the boot environment.

Mount the new boot environment

# zfs mount -o mountpoint=/mnt rpool/ROOT/zbe-1
