[OmniOS-discuss] updating all zones

[sergey ivanov]

Hi Michael,
I had similar problem, after upgrading global zone and rebooting,  upgrades
in non-global zones failed. Non-global zones had lost their delegated zfs
datasets, and was not able to see even zfs they used as root filesystem. I
resolved the problem by halting zones, and then upgrading from global zone
with "-R" for image directory root. I would also be glad to see
recommendations and best practices for upgrading OmniOS with zones.
