[OpenIndiana-discuss] Moving zone

[Grüninger, Andreas (LGL Extern)]

Send largetank/zones/zonegate back to rpool/zones/zonegate with zfs send/receive.
Try to boot the zone. If this works  good for you. 
Then at first make backups.

Never used zoneadm -z ... move.
Obviously it doesn't make snapshost with option '-r'.

I copied this from my scripts to move zones under Solaris 11.2.
Normally I copy zones between systems so uninstall and delete is not necessary.

ZONE=???
zoneadm -z ${ZONE} halt
zoneadm -z ${ZONE} detach
zfs snapshot -r rpool/export/zones/${ZONE}@1
zonecfg -z ${ZONE} export > {ZONE}.zonecfg   ## SOLARIS!
zfs send -R rpool/export/zones/${ZONE}@1|zfs  recv anotherpool/${ZONE2}
zoneadm -z ${ZONE} uninstall -F
zoneadm -z ${ZONE} delete -F
zonecfg -z ${ZONE} create -a / anotherpool /${ZONE}
zoneadm -z ${ZONE} attach

Good luck

Andreas

Betreff: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Moving zone

I tried to move a zone from the basic rpool ZFS system to a larger ZFS system on the same machine. 

 

(The name of my zone is "zonegate", the large ZFS system is called largetank
)

Since there are many different "manuals" on the internet and I tried one which told to do "zoneadm -z zonegate move. 

 

But this resulted in a partially moved zone. Which states:

 

ZFS list

rpool/zones/zonegate                      9.90G  19.9G    33K
/largetank/zones/zonegate

rpool/zones/zonegate/ROOT                 9.90G  19.9G    31K  legacy

rpool/zones/zonegate/ROOT/zbe             9.90G  19.9G  3.11G  legacy

rpool/zones/zonegate/ROOT/zbe-1           85.5K  19.9G  1.96G  legacy

 

So i messed up bigtime. 

And this zone is very important for its data, so I can't afford to make mistakes. 

 

What is the best thing to do?
