This procedure is used to move a zone to a new location on the same system by changing the zonepath. The zone must be halted. The new zonepath must be on a local file system. The normal zonepath criteria described in Resource and Property Types apply.

  2. Halt the zone to be moved, db-zone in this procedure.


    global# zoneadm -z db-zone halt

  3. Use the zoneadm command with the move subcommand to move the zone to a new zonepath, /export/zones/db-zone.


    global# zoneadm -z db-zone move /export/zones/db-zone

  4. Verify the path.


    global# zoneadm list -iv
