I am planning to do solaris 11 global zone patching having solaris 10 branded zone. I have a doubts on step 8 specially

Can someone clear my step 8 doubts or if anything wrong between step 1 to step 9 please correct that also as I have pretty good idea about Step 10 mean patching in solaris 10 branded zone

solaris 11 GZ patching steps

1.) Halt all branded zones

Code:

zoneadm -z sol10bd halt

2.) Then Detach all solaris 10 branded

Code:

zoneadm -z sol10bd detach

3.) Solaris 11 Repository is already configured then we need to run below command for Solaris 11 global zone patching

Code:

#pkg update

4.)After patching of Solaris 11 complete then new BE will be create which has all the updated patches which we just install

Code:

#beadm list

5.) Activate the new BE

Code:

beadm activate <New-BE-name>

6.) Reboot the system

7.)After system up from new BE

Code:

beadm list

8.) Now I need to attach the Solaris 10 Branded Zone -----> Here my question is do we need to run "zoneadm -z sol10bd attach" command or I need to forcely attach the branded zone "zoneadm -z sol10bd attach -F"

Means I need to run which of the below two commands to attach solaris 10 branded zone

Code:

#zoneadm -z sol10bd attach

or

Code:

#zoneadm -z sol10bd attach -F

9.) After attaching Branded zone , We need to boot the Solaris 10 Branded zone

Code:

zoneadm -z sol10bd boot

10.)After booting to Branded zone login into it and copy the recommended patch cluster into branded zone and extract it. Further we can start patching it by creating a solaris 10 zfs root pool clone and then mount it and do the patching on that clone and after patching activate the clone & boot the system from clone

11.) Patching completed/
