Hi Enda,the Solaris release is 8/07.
What I really need is move the zone (doing like an ufsdump) and let it
becaming a global zone and not a zone in a another system.
This is because we didn't have a new Sun blade so we created a zone in
another machine then the oracle/application people could work in the
meantime we order another system.

Hi all,
I need to move two zones to a 2 different systems as global zone. In one
of them I have Oracle.
My questions are:
1) What is the best way to do so?
what Solaris release are you on?
If it's the Solaris 10 updates, then best to have both systems in sync in
terms of patches
+ packages really. After that then, zoneadm detach/attach are your best
bet.
2) From the zone that has Oracle is there anything I have to be aware of
when I move it?
ah yes Oracle, well how are you managing the migration of the Oracle
datafiles and so on,
I assume you probably have some storage available to the zone via zonecfg
add device etc?
I assume memory etc on the new system is sufficient for Oracle.
In general moving an app like an Oracle DB, would require large amounts of
testing, so
that things like performance don't take a nosedive.
In my experience with Oracle, moving from one system to another can induce
performance
issues with respect to how say access is configured to storage on the new
system, or say
how a later OS release might impact on the current optimised database, ie
if your database
is highly optimised with respect to one system, it might take some time to
get it to say
level on a later OS update etc.
Very hard to tell with Oracle, so I'd strongly suggest trying to setup a
test zone on
target system and replicate the DB to this, in order to test performance
etc beforehand.
Enda
TIA
