    Yes, but after getting them back online. The instructions on the Wiki for
    the last kernel update release say to do that as a last step.

    "
    	Updates may be applied without detaching non-global zones, though
    	we recommend that zones still be shut down during the update
    	process. Zones attached to the system during this update will get
    	a new ZFS dataset that matches the global zone's new BE.

    	After booting into the new BE, shut down the non-global zone
    	again and run

    		pkg -R <zonepath>/root update
    "

    It seems that something went wrong with my update as the non-global zones
    didn't get a ZFS dataset matching the new BE, or that the instructions are
    wrong in some way.

    Detaching the zones seems safest for the future, thanks.

    Andy
