How to Move a Zone

You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.

1. Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

   To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

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.

   ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / native shared - my-zone installed /export/home/my-zone native shared - db-zone installed /export/zones/db-zone native shared
