About Detaching and Attaching the Zone

A solaris9 zone can be migrated to another host by using the zoneadm command with the detach and attach subcommands. This process is described in About Migrating a Zone in System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones and How to Migrate A Non-Global Zone in System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones.

To attach the solaris9 zone to the new host, you must use the -F option. This option is used to skip package and patch validation, which are not needed for branded zones.
