Viewing Information About Boot Environments

The –a option shows full information for a specified boot environment or for all boot environments, including all dataset and snapshot information. This information includes flags to indicate whether the boot environment is active or not, the mountpoint for the dataset, the amount of space used by the dataset, the policy and the date the dataset was created.

    The values for the Active column are as follows:

  • R – Active on reboot

  • N – Active now

  • NR – Active now and active on reboot

  • - – Inactive

  • ! – Unbootable boot environments in a non-global zone

The following example displays full information for the BE5 boot environment.
