Listing BE on the system

#beadm list

‘N’ means that the BE is active. ‘R’ means that this BE will be used on next reboot.

Create a new BE:

#beadm test-be

Rename a BE:

#beadm rename solaris-backup-1 original-os

Destroy a BE:

#beadm destroy test-be

Activating a BE:

#beadm activate original-os

Before the system is rebooted ‘solaris’ is active – the N flag – but the system will reboot into ‘original-os’ – the R flag. So a reboot is done with the command

#init 6
