How to Check the Source System With zonep2vchk

Review planning information and guidelines in About Zone Transformations and Using the zonep2vchk Tool to Prepare for Global to Non-Global Transformations.

Perform this procedure on the source system.

1. Become a zone administrator.

   For more information, see Using Rights Profiles to Install and Manage Zones.

2. Perform a basic analysis that checks for Oracle Solaris features in use that might be impacted by a transformation.

   The ‐b option specifies a basic analysis.

   source$ zonep2vchk -b

3. Perform a static analysis of application files.

   The ‐s option specifies a static analysis. The option takes a comma-separated list of paths. The following example command inspects two application paths for ELF binaries for system and library calls that might affect operation inside a zone.

   source$ zonep2vchk -s /opt/myapp/bin,/opt/myapp/lib

4. Perform runtime checks that look for processes that could not be executed successfully inside a zone.

   The ‐r option specifies a runtime check. The following example command performs a runtime check for two hours.

   source$ zonep2vchk -r 2h

5. Generate a template zonecfg configuration.

   The template name you specify must end with the .config extension.

   source$ zonep2vchk -c > /path/filename.config

   This configuration will contain resource limits and network configuration based on the physical resources and networking configuration of the source host.
