Lift and Shift Guide - Migrating Workloads from Oracle Solaris 10 SPARC Systems to Oracle Solaris 10 Branded Zones

Verify the Solaris 10 Branded Zone Configuration

1. Verify that the branded zone is installed.

   root@TargetGlobal# zoneadm list -vc
     ID NAME             STATUS      PATH                         BRAND      IP
      0 global           running     /                            solaris    shared
      - TargetS10bz      installed   /zones/TargetS10bz           solaris10  excl
   

2. In a separate terminal window, log into the zone's console.

   This console will display messages as the zone boots (next step).

   root@TargetGlobal# zlogin -C TargetS10bz

   ---

   Note -  Once booted, you can use the zlogin command to log directly into the branded zone.

   ---

3. (If needed) Shut down the source system.

   If the target branded zone uses the same network identity as the source system, shut down the source system to prevent conflicts on the network.

   If the target branded zone is configured with a different network identity, you do not need to shut down the source system at this time.

4. In the original terminal window, boot the branded zone.

   root@TargetGlobal# zoneadm -z TargetS10bz boot

5. Verify that the branded zone is running.

   root@TargetGlobal# zoneadm list -vc
     ID NAME             STATUS      PATH                         BRAND      IP
      0 global           running     /                            solaris    shared
      8 TargetS10bz      running     /zones/TargetS10bz           solaris10  excl

6. Log into the branded zone.

   root@TargetGlobal# zlogin TargetS10bz

7. List the branded zone's system architecture.

   rootTargetS10bz# uname -a
   SunOS TargetS10bz 5.10 Generic_Virtual sun4v sparc sun4v

8. List the branded zone's processors

   rootTargetS10bz# psrinfo -pv
   The physical processor has 32 virtual processors (16-47)
     SPARC-S7 (chipid 0, clock 4267 MHz)

9. List the branded zone's file systems.

   rootTargetS10bz# df -h
