The lift and shift process described in this document has the following requirements, and includes instructions for satisfying them:
Source System
Installation of the following patches on the source system (covered in Prepare the Source System):
The SUNWldm package – Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2.
The SUNWldmp2v package – Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2.
Patch 119534-33 (or later) – Flash archive patch.
Patch 151934-06 (or later) – VM Server for SPARC 3.2 ldmd patch, provides lift and shift utilities such as ldmp2vz_collect, ldmp2vz_convert, and pigz.
Target System
The target control domain must be running Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU 35 (or later) and LDOM 3.5.0.3.3 (or later).
Installation of the following patches in the target guest domain (covered in Patch the Target Guest Domain):
The latest available Oracle Solaris 10 Recommended patch set (10_Recommended_CPU_2018-01 at minimum). The patch set provides proactive patching and ensures that the commands in this document run as expected. For more information refer to Critical Patch Updates and MOS knowledge Doc ID 1272947.1 from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com).
The SUNWldm package – Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2.
The SUNWldmp2v package – Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2.
Patch 119534-33 (or later) – Flash archive patch.
Patch 151934-06 (or later) – VM Server for SPARC 3.2 ldmd patch, provides lift and shift utilities such as ldmp2vz_collect, ldmp2vz_convert, and pigz.
Plan to download the Oracle VM Template for Oracle VM Server with Oracle Solaris 10.1/13 (Solaris10 OVA) to the target system (covered in Create a Target Guest Domain).
Shared Storage
On the shared storage, ensure that there is sufficient storage space to temporarily store the image of the source system that is used to perform the lift and shift. The storage must be accessible to the source and target systems. For space requirements and instructions, see Prepare the Shared Storage.
Plan to download the Oracle Solaris10 (SPARC) ISO (sol-10-u11-ga-sparc-dvd.iso) to shared storage (covered in Prepare the Shared Storage).
Plan to download and unzip all required patches to shared storage (covered in Prepare the Shared Storage). This enables you to download the patches in one location, and patch the source and target systems from that single location.
