How to Migrate a Non-Global Zone Using Unified Archives

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

2. Create a recovery archive.

   In this procedure, we will create a recovery archive of the zone that is migrated on the source host.

   source-host# archiveadm create -r -z zonename archive-name

   For example:

   host1# archiveadm create -r -z zonename /net/server/my-zone-archive.uar

3. Uninstall the zone on the source system, or set autoboot on the zone to false.

   source-host# zonecfg -z zonename set autoboot=false

4. Configure the destination system from the archive.

   destination-host# zonecfg -z zonename create -a /net/server/zonename.uar

   For example:

   host2# zonecfg -z zonename create -a /net/server/my-zone-archive.uar

5. Install the zone using the archive.

   destination-host# zoneadm -z zonename install -a archive-name

6. Boot the migrated zone.

   destination-host# zoneadm -z zonename boot
