Zone Migration in Solaris Containers Technology
This system administration feature is new in the Solaris Express 4/06 release.
This feature enables migration of non-global zones from one machine to another machine. The zonecfg and zoneadm commands have been modified to enable migration of non-global zones from one system to another. The migration procedure detaches a halted zone from its current location and attaches the zone to a new system.
The global zone on the target system must be running the following:
-
The same release of the OS as the original host
-
The same versions of OS packages and patches as the original host
The zone detach process creates the information necessary to attach the zone on a different system. The zone attach process verifies that the new machine has the correct configuration to host the zone.
Because there are a number of ways to make the zonepath available on the new host, the actual movement of the zonepath from one system to another is a manual process that is performed by the global administrator.
Note –
When attached to the new system, the zone is in the installed state.
