LU - Reverting to original Boot Enviroment
Last week, I created a new BE using lucreate which I was able to successfully boot from and has been working fine sinxe.

I now want to revert to the original BE but luactivate gives me these errors:

Code:
 
# luactivate current_be
ERROR: boot environment <current_be> already mounted on </home/oracle>
ERROR: mount point </.alt.current_be> is already in use
ERROR: failed to create mount point </.alt.current_be> for file system </>
ERROR: cannot mount boot environment by name <current_be>
ERROR: Unable to mount the boot environment <current_be>.

They are indeed mounted which I did notice before but having not used lu before thought it was normal but now not sure. The original BE is on mirrored disks. The new BE is on one 50G slice on just one of those disks. Looking at the directory contents the .alt /home/oracle dir is actually being written to as well as the /home/oracle under the new BE.

df shows the following:

What have I done wrong?!

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS

lufslist

lufslist(1M)															      lufslist(1M)

NAME

       lufslist - list configuration of a boot environment

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/lufslist [-l error_log] [-o outfile] BE_name [-X]

DESCRIPTION

       The  lufslist  command  is  part  of  a	suite  of commands that make up the Live Upgrade feature of the Solaris operating environment. See
       live_upgrade(5) for a description of the Live Upgrade feature.

       The lufslist command lists the configuration of a boot environment (BE). The output contains the disk  slice  (file  system),  file  system
       type, and file system size for each BE mount point.

       The following is an example of lufslist output.

       # lufslist BE_name
       Filesystem		 fstype       size(Mb) Mounted on
       ------------------------------------------------------------------
       /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1	 swap		512.11 -
       /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s3	 ufs	       3738.29 /
       /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s4	 ufs		510.24 /opt

       File  system  type  can	be  ufs,  swap,  or vxfs, for a Veritas file system. Under the Filesystem heading can be a disk slice or a logical
       device, such as a disk metadevice used by volume management software.

       The lufslist command requires root privileges.

OPTIONS

       The lufslist command has the following options:

       -l error_log

	   Error and status messages are sent to error_log, in addition to where they are sent in your current environment.

       -o outfile

	   All command output is sent to outfile, in addition to where it is sent in your current environment.

       -X

	   Enable XML output. Characteristics of XML are defined in DTD, in /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num>, where <num>  is  the  version
	   number of the DTD file.

OPERANDS

       BE_name

	   Name of the BE for which file systems are to be reported. You cannot specify a BE that is involved in another Live Upgrade operation.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

FILES

       /etc/lutab

	   list of BEs on the system

       /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/lu_cli.dtd.<num>

	   Live Upgrade DTD (see -X option)
