It is about the same process as moving an application from one server
to another. In a typical situation, you have something like:
/opt/myapp - directory where everything is installed
/etc/passwd - one or more accounts related to the app
/etc/shadow - entries to match up with /etc/paswd entries
/etc/init.d/myapp, /etc/rc*.d/[SK]*myapp - legacy start/stop scripts
/var/svc/manifest/*/myapp.xml
And it's not installed via pkgadd.
You should be able to...
Shut down the app
mv /opt/myapp /zones/myzone/root/opt
- Be sure you have enough space
- Alternatively add an lofs mount to the zone's configuration to
mount /opt/myapp from the global zone to the non-global zone
mkdir /zones/myzone/root/opt/myapp
zonecfg -z myzone
add fs
set dir=/opt/myapp
set special=/opt/myapp
set type=lofs
set options=rw
end
verify
commit
exit
Copy the appropriate entries from passwd and shadow to the same files
in the non-global zone
- You likely want to get rid of the entries from the global
zone once you confirm functionality in the non-global zone
Copy any related files from /etc/init.d, /etc/rc*.d to the same
place in the non-global zone.
- At a minimum, get rid of /etc/rc*.d/S*myapp in the global
zone
Copy any related files from /var/svc/manifest/*/myapp.xml to the same
location in the non-global zone.
As cleanup in the global zone
rm /var/svc/manifest/*/myapp.xml
svccfg delete myapp
If the app knows about the server's hostname or IP address,
reconfigure that in the app.
If other things external to the server know about this application by
hostname or IP address, reconfigure them to point to the non-global
zone.
Obviously, the procedure will vary with the circumstances, but these
are the types of things that you need to worry about.
