Ok, I have aproduction zone running. It is all set on zfs pool, so what
I wanted to do is to duplicate my curent environment without actually
bringing it down...
I did try to create a snap of my zone. I did then move it to a different
system via zfs send/receive option. So I had file system all set and
ready to go, but I was not able to import my zone since I did not have
SUNWdetached.xml in there.
Is there any way to make a clone of a zone (since I have it on zfs) and
then import it somehow on a different system?
I was even trying to recreate zone using config file, but when I got to
the poit of setting it up on a partition it complaioned that already
root directory exists in that path...
Hi,
if you are using a recent build of Nevada (> 48-ish) you can create
SUNWdefault.xml by performing a dry-run detach of your zone. This does
not require the zone to be stopped and it will output the manifest to
stdout. Save this output as SUNWdetached.xml in your new zonepath and
create and attach the zone there. So something like this should do the
trick:
(src) # zoneadm -z myzone detach -n > /tmp/SUNWdetached.xml
(src) # scp /tmp/SUNWdetached.xml [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/zones/myzone
(target) # zonecfg -z myzone create -a /zones/myzone
(target) # zoneadm -z myzone attach
(target) # zoneadm -z myzone boot
(assuming that your new zone's zonepath is at /zones/myzone).
