    Hi Michael,
    I had similar problem, after upgrading global zone and rebooting,  upgrades
    in non-global zones failed. Non-global zones had lost their delegated zfs
    datasets, and was not able to see even zfs they used as root filesystem. I
    resolved the problem by halting zones, and then upgrading from global zone
    with "-R" for image directory root. I would also be glad to see
    recommendations and best practices for upgrading OmniOS with zones.
