Moving an lx Branded Zone

This procedure is used to move a zone to a new location on the same system by changing the zonepath. The zone must be halted. The new zonepath must be on a local file system. The normal zonepath criteria described in Resource and Property Types apply.

How to Move a Zone

1. Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

   Roles are described in Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. Halt the zone to be moved, db-zone in this procedure.

   global# zoneadm -z db-zone halt

3. Use the zoneadm command with the move subcommand to move the zone to a new zonepath, /export/zones/db-zone.

   global# zoneadm -z db-zone move /export/zones/db-zone

4. Verify the path.

   global# zoneadm list -iv
     ID NAME             STATUS         PATH                  BRAND      IP
      0 global           running        /                     native     shared
      - lx-zone          installed      /export/home/lx-zone  lx         shared
      - db-zone          installed      /export/zones/db-zone lx         shared
