The ufsdump option is great, as long as you are bundling up a single
filesystem. If the source machine has a separate /var or /opt
filesystem, (or you need to bring over extra filesystems) you won't
catch them with ufsdump. In the case of /var and /opt, I have used pax
with excellent results
Absolutely. +1 to Mike.

Absolutely. I did just that a few months ago when my primary disk
started running a bit slim on free space. :)
- format new disk
- halt zones
- mount new disk on /mnt
- cd /zones ; tar -cf - . | (cd /mnt; tar -xvpf - )
- (to be safe) mv /zones /zones.old
- mkdir /zones
- edit vfstab to add ent
Tjere are some SMF services known to break when moving into a zone from
a physical server. Things like sysevent, FMA-ish stuff, ldom manager,
etc. (I don't have my notes in front of me, but I seem to remember
around 4-5 from a SUNWall vanilla installation). Mostly stuff tied to
the hardware
Maybe I am missing something here, but wouldn't it be easier to do that
kind of thing with zonecfg? Unless you are changing some other settings
other than the IP... Just trying to understand the end result you are
looking for.

Also kills those of us who rely on vbox, and vpn in through the host system. No way to
get to the dev repositories at all. No zones unless we use the "public" builds
(currently at 134). Bad enough we can't add sw without a local repo, but no zones
either? Killing me.
