Upgrading from Solaris 11 to Solaris 11 update 1 is not a difficult task especially with the new pkg utility which internally uses Image Packaging system.
You can directly refer to Oracle blog for the same as each step is mentioned clearly, it mentions several exceptions while upgrading like if ldom packages are present then you need some workarounds.
Also please note that Solaris 11u1 may still contain old version some of the packages as compared to the latest SRU (Support Repository Updates) for Solaris 11.
So we will not cover those details but just a let us summarize the basic steps :
1. # pkg update --be-name s11.1new --accept // it will update to latest available SRU of S11u1
2. # reboot
*If you are running Solaris on Vbox then you after update you may need to uninstall vbox addition packages and install new ones.
