Migrate a Zone to a New Host

F.4 Migrate a Zone to a New Host
You can migrate a zone from one physical host to another by running the following
procedure:
Log in to the compute node hosting the zone as the root user.
1.
Shutdown the zone by running the following command:
2.
# zoneadm -z name_of_zone shutdown
Example:
# zoneadm -z zone04 shutdown
Detach the zone by running the following command:
3.
# zoneadm -z name_of_zone detach
Example:
# zoneadm -z zone04 detach

Create a directory on the storage appliance to which you can export the
4.
configuration of the zone:
# mkdir -p directory
Example:
# mkdir -p /u01/common/general/zone04
Export the configuration of the zone by running the following command:
5.
# zonecfg -z name_of_zone export > directory/name_of_zone.cfg
Example:
# zonecfg -z zone04 export > /common/general/zone04/zone04.cfg
Log in to the compute node you want to migrate the zone to as the root user.
6.
Import the zone from the configuration file you created in the previous step by
7.
running the following command:
# zonecfg -z name_of_zone -f directory/name_of_zone.cfg

The zone is shut down during the migration process. If you require high
availability, ensure you use a clustered software solution.
