About Migration of Kernel Zones with SR-IOV-Enabled
anet Resources
For a kernel zone that is using SR-IOV, the ability to suspend and resume the kernel zone and migrate using warm or live migration is limited to host systems and zones running Oracle Solaris 11.4. If the kernel zone configuration includes the settings iov=auto or iov=on, migration fails if the source host, target host, or the kernel zone is running an older release.
If you must migrate a kernel zone that has iov
enabled, and either the kernel zone or the global zone on the source
host or target host is running a release that is older than
Oracle Solaris 11.4, you must perform a cold migration.

the iov property, review:
