Upgrade OmniOS to r151014

Just a quick memory hook on how to update an OmniOS release…

Update the publisher to point to the new release, r151014 being the release version to update to in this case:

pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/r151014/ omnios

To update the client’s list of available packages and publisher metadata, run

pkg refresh --full

The actual update process is invoked with

pkg update -v --be-name=omnios-r151014 entire

If you happen to have use zones, the process is a little more sophisticated though.
