If migrating an existing Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 environment to the non-global zone, perform the following preparations. For details on the procedures, see Oracle Solaris documents.
Create an archive in the migration source's Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 environment. For the method on creating the archive, the type of the supported archive, and notes on the migration, see Oracle Solaris documents. The created archive is used for inputting the zoneadm command when installing the OS to the non-global zone.
Example) To archive the UFS root file system in Solaris 10 environment.
# cd /
# flarcreate -S -n zone-a-system /var/tmp/zone-a-system.flar
