2. ldg2 – Runs the Oracle Solaris 10 OS and hosts the following zones:
  - Sol8-zone2, a solaris8 branded zone running a legacy application
  - Sol8-zone3, a solaris8 branded zone running a legacy application
3. ldg3– Runs the Oracle Solaris 10 OS
4. ldg4 – Runs the Oracle Solaris 11.2 OS and hosts the following zones:

Convert the legacy Solaris 8 systemSol8_sys1to a logical domain on a SPARC T5-2 system.

Use the Oracle VM Server for SPARC ldmp2v command to convert an existing physical Solaris 8 system onto a logical domain running Oracle Solaris 10. You can convert an Solaris 8, Solaris 9, or Oracle Solaris 10 system to a virtual system that runs the Oracle Solaris 10 OS in a logical domain on a SPARC T5-2 system. See Chapter 14, Oracle VM Server for SPARC Physical-to-Virtual Conversion Tool, in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Administration Guide .
