Hi,

It's generally not possible to move a zone around between the two
distributions. We have very different models for how zones should work.

In SmartOS, we have sparse zones which means that the global zone
provides the contents of things like /lib and /usr. However, in OmniOS,
those are provided by the zone, but are mostly tied to the kernel.
Further, the general design of a zone in the OmniOS world, based on my
understanding, is that packages are installed into /usr and /usr is
writeable. In our world, that is not true and packages are installed
into another prefix.

What you might want to do is create a delegated dataset that contains
your data, but not programs, and move that around instead.
