Re: [zones-discuss] Solaris 10 zone migration to Solaris 11 Express
Thanks .. i got it working .. zone is attached and booted .. i remember i read that sparse root zone is not supported anymore in Solaris 11 express. But there is one more question/issue i 've been dealing with. Whenever we migrate a solaris 10u8 zone to a solaris10u8 zone it works fine but later on the live upgrade stucks or gives lots of issues on the target system complaining about the newly migrated zone .. is it very common issue or its just we are facing it. ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Just to be clear, you migrated a NGZ from an s10_u8 system to another s10_u8 system? Not sure what you are exactly doing from above. Do you have the Lu failure that you can copy and paste, along with the zone details, ie the FS it's on etc, lufslist from the current BE and the lucreate etc that was ran, plus what rev of 121430/121431 ( sparc/x86 ) Lu patch was installed. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] Solaris 10 zone migration to Solaris 11 Express
I do not have the logs rt now .. We migrated a zone from one server to other .. on the same revision solaris 10 u8 the reason we migrate is to relieve the server of some load when it starts getting crunch on resources. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Hi so this is a bug in the s11 docs, as it does need to mention the libc bit of the step. I will log a bug.

You can, but in order to do so, you need to be sure that the things that are not included in a sparse zone get included in the archive. This will cause the archive to be a lot larger and the zone will not be a sparse root zone on Solaris 11.
