How To Move a Solaris Container
This How To Guide instructs users, system administrators, and developers who have experience with Solaris 10 on proper use of new features which allow a Solaris 10 Container to be moved from one computer to another. The guide starts with a brief discussion of the need for such functionality and follows with three examples of the use of this functionality.
Note: Technology described in this guide is currently available in Solaris Express, and will be available soon in a Solaris 10 update.
Users are guided step-by-step through the process of moving a Container, with code examples and illustrations. After using this guide, a user should be able to move a Solaris Container by:
* Creating a Container
* Detaching the Container
* Moving the Container to a new computer
* Attaching the Container to the new computer
For thoroughness, code examples are provided for three different scenarios:
* Each system has only one filesystem
* Each system has Containers installed onto Solaris ZFS filesystems
* Each system has Containers installed onto Solaris UFS filesystems using Solaris Volume Manager
