Example Configuration and Prompts

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. Command line prompts identify on which system the commands are performed.

The following systems are used in the examples:

  • Source system – A SPARC Enterprise M9000 (sun4u) system running the Oracle Solaris 10 OS and Oracle Database 12.1.0.2.

  • Target system – A SPARC S7-2 (sun4v) system, running the Oracle Solaris 11 OS. During the lift and shift procedures, this system is prepared with a Solaris 10 branded zone that hosts the OS and workloads from the source system.

The following diagram shows the source and target configurations that are used in the examples in this guide.

In the screen output examples, the command line prompt indicates on which system (target or source), and which zone (global or non-global) a command is executed. This table lists the prompts.
