Re: [zones-discuss] Sol 8 Branded Zone not booting
Hi Val, Did you check content of your flar file ? Did you apply last flar patch on your S8 before creating ? Did you try to install your flar on a physical box ?

It is entirely possible that I have some bad files in flar (maybe hard links across file system , missing patches etc.) Any thoughts how to debug this puppy ?

[zones-discuss] Copy a working zone from one server to a second server
I have three V245 servers with identical architecture, running latest Solaris 10. I have configured a whole root zone using shared IP on one of the servers. I was able to easily clone a second copy of the zone on the first server. I have everything in the zone the way I want it, locked down, user accounts created, correct patches and packages, etc. Is it possible to copy this working (but halted) zone from one server to a second server? I do not want to move / migrate it to a new server, I want to put a working copy over, change the zone name and host name, etc., and fire it up so I don't have to do all the work for each server. I have read and followed the Oracle white paper How to Move an Oracle® Solaris Container with no success. Unfortunately the examples in the paper are for sparse zones. The problem I hit is I can get the date copied over, and run zonefg with no problem, but when I try to attach the zone, let alone when I tried to boot it (just in case it just worked) I get a zone not installed error. If I do a zoneadm -z myzone install that will overwrite the files I copied from the working zone, defeating the purpose. Is there a way to just mark the zone installed and create a UID but keep the files I copied over?

Re: [zones-discuss] Copy a working zone from one server to a second server
Thank you sir. I had forgotten, overlooked, or other wise failed to try doing a -F to force the attachment. I tried that and it shows as installed, then was able to boot it. Before that I got these errors: zoneadm -z myzone attach These packages installed on this system were not installed on the source system: SUNWebrg (1.1.0,REV=2006.04.06.22.41) SUNWeupdatemgru (0.1,REV=2005.07.01.10.54) SUNWezfsg (1.0,REV=2006.10.14.22.57) SUNWfbrg (1.1.0,REV=2006.04.06.22.48) SUNWfupdatemgru (0.1,REV=2005.07.01.10.54) SUNWfzfsg (1.0,REV=2006.10.14.23.04) SUNWj5dev (1.5.0,REV=2004.12.07.00.07) SUNWjato (2.1.2,REV=2005.01.09.23.05) SUNWjhdev (2.0,REV=2006.10.04) SUNWmcon (3.0.2,REV=2006.12.08.20.48) SUNWmconr (3.0.2,REV=2006.12.08.20.48) SUNWmcos (3.0.2,REV=2006.12.08.20.48) SUNWmcosx (3.0.2,REV=2006.12.08.20.48) SUNWmctag (3.0.2,REV=2006.12.08.20.48) SUNWtcatu (11.10.0,REV=2005.01.08.05.16) SUNWzfsgr (1.0,REV=2006.10.24.22.49) SUNWzfsgu (1.0,REV=2006.10.24.22.49) These patches installed on this system were not installed on the source system: 122860-06 122911-24 123661-05 125952-20 141104-02 [solcon3/root] zoneadm -z myzone boot zoneadm: zone 'myzone': must be installed before boot. I don't understand the missing / not installed on source errors as these two servers were created from the same image so there should not be any differences. I will see what happens with the third server.
