About Kernel Zone Evacuation
Kernel zone evacuation is the process of live migrating all the running
kernel zones off a system at once, and optionally returning them to the system later. By live
migrating all kernel zones from a host system onto other systems temporarily, you can perform
maintenance on the host system without having to halt applications that are running in those
kernel zones. You can optionally evacuate all zones, including kernel zones that are not
running solaris
zones in the installed
state.
Evacuation uses the Remote Administration Daemon (RAD) to coordinate and execute the migration
of zones to their destinations, so RAD services must be running on source hosts and target
hosts. For more information about RAD, see the rad
(8) man page.
