currently you have 2 partitions/slots; one is 10.1.0 and the other one is 11.2.1.

you tried to install 11.2.1 hf10 on 10.1.0 partition/slot but failed. am i correct?

how did you install 11.2.1 hf10? did you switchboot to 10.1.0 partition/slot and then installed 11.2.1 hf10?

have you tried to create new partition/slot (e.g. hd1.3) and install 11.2.1 hf10?

e.g.

root@ve10(Active)(tmos) create sys software volume HD1.3
