That's precisely the opposite of what I thought. Care to explain? If you have a primary OS disk, and you apply OS Updates ... in order to access those updates in Sol10, you need a registered account and login, with paid solaris support. Then, if you boot a removable hard disk, and you wish to apply updates to keep it at the same rev as the primary OS ... you've got to once again enter your Sol10 update download credentials, and I don't presume it works, or will always work for a 2nd installation of Sol10. Aren't you supposed to pay for support on each OS installation? Doesn't that mean you'd have to pay a separate support contract for the removable boot hard drive? But in opensolaris, updates are free. Don't require any login credentials. So if you update your primary OS, I see nothing to prevent you from booting your removable disk, and applying the same updates to the 2nd OS. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
