Thanks Jerry for the quick reply. I am making progress, but no cigar (yet). Now I have:
zoneadm: zone 'X': ERROR: attempt to downgrade package SUNWgtar, the source had patches but this system does not It does not give me a patch number, so I can't add it to the bad_patches file. Or maybe it does ? Is there a list of patches I should add to bad_patches for this to work ? The workaround mentions an attached file, but I don't see it.

How can I migrate my zone ? This is bug: 6743776 zone update on attach should ignore all "special" patches This is escalated and a patch is being developed. The workaround is in the bug report (the workaround is actually the fix). It updates the /usr/lib/brand/native/bad_patches file. You can manually do this as well. Jerry
