You always need to reboot.
IPS never updates the live system but clones it and updates the clone.
This feature is known as Boot Environments. You can manage them with the
beadm utility.
It can update the live system if you're only updating packages not marked
as "need=reboot" - but all kernel & driver packages are marked like that
so any update that includes those will create a new BE and require booting
into it.
image-update and update are the same command. At least they map to the
exact same action. Why we documented image-update i do not know. The
manpage only lists update.
image-update was the original name in IPS, but it's been more than a
decade since it was renamed to just "update", so all the docs should
have been fixed long ago.
