I think the answer is no, you cannot rename the root pool and expect

Live Upgrade in particular would be unhappy and changing the root

Live Upgrade on Solaris 10 does indeed get up set. Live Upgrade does not exist on OpenSolaris, the equivalent beadm does not.

I know this because I have had reason to rename root pools on multiple occasions.

However you do have to be careful (it may need hand editing) with the grub menu as it will usually contain the name of the root pool.
