System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones

Patches and Packages Are Out of Sync

The target system must be running the same versions of the following required operating system packages and patches as those installed on the original host.

Packages that deliver files under an inherit-pkg-dir resource
Packages where SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=true

If packages and patches are different between the original host and the new host, you might see a display similar to the following:

host2# zoneadm -z my-zone attach
	These packages installed on the source system are inconsistent with this system:
            SUNWgnome-libs (2.6.0,REV=101.0.3.2005.12.06.20.27) version mismatch
                    (2.6.0,REV=101.0.3.2005.12.19.21.22)
            SUNWudaplr (11.11,REV=2005.12.13.01.06) version mismatch
                    (11.11,REV=2006.01.03.00.45)
            SUNWradpu320 (11.10.0,REV=2005.01.21.16.34) is not installed

            NCRos86r (11.10.0,REV=2005.01.17.23.31) is not installed
	These packages installed on this system were not installed on the source system:
            SUNWukspfw (11.11,REV=2006.01.03.00.45) was not installed
            SUNWsmcmd (1.0,REV=2005.12.14.01.53) was not installed
	These patches installed on the source system are inconsistent with this system:
            120081 is not installed
            118844 is not installed
            118344 is not installed
	These patches installed on this system were not installed on the source system:
            118669 was not installed
            118668 was not installed
            116299 was not installed

To migrate the zone successfully, use one of the following methods:
- Update the new host with the correct packages and patches so that this content is the same on both systems. For more information, see Chapter 25, About Packages and Patches on a Solaris System With Zones Installed (Overview) and Chapter 26, Adding and Removing Packages and Patches on a Solaris System With Zones Installed (Tasks).
- If the new host has later versions of the zone-dependent packages or their associated patches, use zoneadm attach with the -u or -U options to update those packages within the zone to match the new host. See About Migrating a Zone.
