Nomenclature Used in Examples

The lift and shift process in this document is based on a real in-house lift and shift activity. The examples provided in this document are excerpts from that activity. The example systems and the output from the systems are consistent from the beginning to the end of this document.

These systems are used in the examples:

  • Source system – A SPARC T4-2 system with running the Oracle Solaris 10 OS. The guest domain to be moved has these characteristics:

    • Oracle Solaris 10 OS

    • 1396 GB of storage space provided by virtual disks

    • Oracle 12.1 Database

  • Target system – A SPARC S7-2, with 128 vCPUs and 260 GB of memory, running the Oracle Solaris 11 OS.

In the screen output examples, the command line prompt indicates which system (target or source) and which logical domain (control or guest) is executing the command. This table lists the host names that are displayed in the prompts.
