This discussion was really aimed at the replacement for flash archives, but so is the bigadmin article. http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/install-discuss/2006-March/002515.html -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

As an alternative to installing the full OEM cluster, you can install just the sun4v architecture packages on the sun4u machine (and sun4u on the sun4v machine) as described at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/hybrid_build.jsp As with any zone movement, the packages and patches must match on the source and destination systems before Solaris 10u6 where Upgrade on Attach was introduced.

Re: [zones-discuss] Moving zones between different sparc architecture
Hi, This should work fine for zones, but I would recommend installing a full oem build on the global zone to be sure. However, with LDoms it's a little harder as the platform differences matter between T1, T2, and T2+ matters. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.

Update on attach deals with this, it was integrated in snv_82, but if you want a supported version you probably want to use Solaris 10 instead, it was included in 10/08.
