Best thing to do is to always have snapshots of your datasets ready for 
any occasion.
And snapshots don't replace data replications. And replications do not 
replace backups.

See if you also have previous Boot Environment (beadm) that includes 
your zone's previous state.
You can post what Openindiana you are using and to where you are moving 
the zone. (So the testing could be done to recreate your case).

in case you don't find anything described, you can always make snapshots 
now to make sure you don't loose anything on both sides and start with 
rsync manually if anything else fails (or Gnome commander if wanting GUI).
