Oracle Getting error while trying to create a Solaris boot instance
I issue the following command to create a boot instance from an active boot instance on solaris 11.1.

Code:
beadm create -a -d "Oracle x86 64 BIT Solaris SunOS Rel 5.11 Ver 11.1 10/2012 Enable SSH [BACKUP]" OraSolBcp

I get the following error below;-

Code:
 be_mount_callback: failed to mount dataset rpool/ROOT/OraSolBcp/var at /tmp/.be.AqaW_j/var: directory is not empty 
 be_mount: failed to mount BE (OraSolBcp) on /tmp/.be.AqaW_j 
 be_copy: failed to mount newly created BE 
 be_copy: destroying partially created boot environment 
 be_get_uuid: failed to get uuid property from BE root dataset user properties. 
 Unable to create OraSolBcp. 
 Unable to find message for error code: 1

How do I fix this error?

/tmp/.be.AqaW_j/var: directory is not empty

see if the named directory could be emptied and retry ...

Code:
/tmp/.be.AqaW_j/var

This directory is empty and gets created when the code below excutes:

Code:
beadm create -a -d "Oracle x86 64 BIT Solaris SunOS Rel 5.11 Ver 11.1 10/2012 Enable SSH [BACKUP]" OraSolBcp

Once you reboot it gets deleted. When I issue the code below before reboot:

Code:
ls -alt /tmp

This is what I get below:

This contains the var directory which is empty after the error below:

Code:

 be_mount: failed to mount BE (OraSolBcp) on /tmp/.be.xAaW7f

 Unable to create OraSolBcp.   Unable to find message for error code: 1

Solution to the problem:-

The systems was upgraded from a legacy file system to zfs file system and therefore it was not using the entries set in the /etc/vfstab. By default ZFS file systems are automatically mounted at boot time without requiring you to edit the /etc/vfstab file. Override the default mount point by using the zfs set command to set the mountpoint property to a specific path for both legacy and zfs file boot environment instances. Also make appropriate entries in /etc/vfstab. See the Oracle Solaris 11.1 Administration: ZFS File Systems document for guidance. This was not easy! I spent a lot of time reading!
