The lift and shift process described in this document has the following requirements:
Source system
Must be a bare metal or logical domain running the Oracle Solaris 10 OS. The example in this document uses a bare metal system running the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 OS.
Must have these patches installed, at minimum: 119254-75, 119534-24, and 140914-02 or 148027-03 (The latter patch obsoletes the former patch. Either patch is sufficient for this migration.) Instructions in this document describe how to check and install the patches.
These patches ensure that the package and patch tools work properly within the solaris10 branded zone.
Target system
Must be running Oracle Solaris 11.3 or later. The examples in this document assume that the target system's OS was freshly installed and non-global zones have not yet been created.
Shared storage
You must provide sufficient shared storage space to temporarily store data that is used to perform the lift and shift. The storage must be accessible to the source and target systems. For instructions about determining the space requirements and preparing the storage, see Prepare the Shared Storage.
