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:
Note:
The zone is shut down during the migration process. If you require high
availability, ensure you use a clustered software solution.
1.
Log in to the compute node hosting the zone as the root user.
2.
Shutdown the zone by running the following command:
# zoneadm -z name_of_zone shutdown
Example:
# zoneadm -z zone04 shutdown
3. Detach the zone by running the following command:
# zoneadm -z name_of_zone detach
Example:
# zoneadm -z zone04 detach
zoneadm: zone 'zone04': warning(s) occured during processing URI: 'iscsi://
192.168.14.133/luname.naa.600144f09c96cca900005190bfc4000a'
Could not remove one or more iSCSI discovery addresses because logical unit is in
use
Exported zone zpool: zone04_rpool
Unconfigured zone storage resource(s) from:
iscsi://192.168.14.133/luname.naa.600144f09c96cca900005190bfc4000a
#
4. Create a directory on the storage appliance to which you can export the
configuration of the zone:
# mkdir -p directory
Example:
# mkdir -p /u01/common/general/zone04
5.
Export the configuration of the zone by running the following command:
# zonecfg -z name_of_zone export > directory/name_of_zone.cfg
Example:
# zonecfg -z zone04 export > /common/general/zone04/zone04.cfg
6.
Log in to the compute node you want to migrate the zone to as the root user.
7.
Import the zone from the configuration file you created in the previous step by
running the following command:
# zonecfg -z name_of_zone -f directory/name_of_zone.cfg
