I fought with this for quite a while. I did it in quite an elaborate way and I am certain this can be done in fewer steps so I hope that one of the guru's in here can step in to correct my way of doing this. Perhaps with a pkg install entire sort of a command ? But anyway the following works for me : On a vm I install the Omnios vm and configure it In this vm I do a beadm create BEname. Do: beadm mount BEname /mnt create a compressed file of this BE <code class="ecxjava ecxplain"> tar --create --bzip2 --absolute-names --preserve-permissions --preserve-order --verbose --file=/tmp/omni.tar.bz2 /mnt</code> Copy this to the machine where you want to install to e.g. /tmp On the destination (vm)machine create a BE ( beadm create whatever and also mount it on e.g /mnt) cd to /mnt on the destination and rm -rf * untar the bz2 file (cd /tmp) : <code class="ecxjava ecxplain">tar --extract --bzip2 --absolute-names --preserve-permissions --same-owner --verbose --file=</code><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">omni.tar.bz2</code> This will populate the /mnt with the omnios be On this machine (destination) I also do a <code class="ecxjava ecxplain">:;zpool status rpool </code> to identify the disks used by rpool and then do e.g. <code class="ecxjava ecxplain">ls -l /dev/dsk/</code><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">c4t50014EE002EC010Bd0s0</code> and register the physical device in the bootenv.rc file of the omnios <code class="ecxjava ecxplain">:;vi /mnt/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc</code> and add e.g. lines like: <div class="ecxline ecxnumber49 ecxindex48 ecxalt2"><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">setprop bootpath /scsi_vhci/disk</code><code class="ecxjava ecxcolor1">@g50014ee002ec010b</code><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">:a</code></div><div class="ecxline ecxnumber50 ecxindex49 ecxalt1"><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">setprop altbootpath /scsi_vhci/disk</code><code class="ecxjava ecxcolor1">@g50014ee0ad96d82a</code><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">:a </code><code class="ecxjava ecxplain"><== in case of mirror</code></div><div class="ecxline ecxnumber51 ecxindex50 ecxalt2"><code class="ecxjava ecxplain">setprop bootfile kernel/amd64/unix</code></div><code class="ecxjava ecxplain"> </code>After this do: <code class="ecxjava ecxplain">:;/usr/sbin/devfsadm -r /mnt</code> Now you can reboot into your new Omni bootenv and clean stuff up. Again do not upgrade zfs version until satiesfied. I am certain this can be a lot better but this works 4 me (being an autodidact) HTH And as others usually end their helpful hints,... typo's courtesy of ehh my keyboard...
