SN#19013 Tools for Zone Migration and Zone Move

SYSTEM NEWS FOR SUN USERS
Vol 117 Issue 4 2007-11-26 Article 19013 from section "SysAdmin's Section"

A Glance at Some of the Available Solutions

Sun Connection's blog site has an article on Moving zones between
machines/hosts that considers both Zone Migration and Zone Move. Zone
Migration, according to the blog, copies all files from the given
Zone to a new host machine, then shuts down the first Zone and starts
up the new one. This does not require shared storage because the data
is copied over the network. Zone Move, on the other hand, shuts down
the zone, unmounts the disk, re-mounts it on a new host, zone
attaches it and starts it up.
