Using Oracle Solaris Zones Physical-to-Virtual (P2V)
Simple, Robust, Flexible Tool for Building an Image, then Migrating from Physical to Virtual Environments
The Physical to Virtual (P2V) feature of Oracle Solaris Zones and its capability for creating and installing a Solaris 10 image built in a physical system and migrating it into a virtualized operating system environment is Orgad Kimchi's subject in an oracle.com post that lists the three steps in the use of P2v:
- Image creation on the source system
- Preparing the target system
- Image installation on the target system
Kimchi devotes the balance of the post to the code samples necessary to creating the image used to distribute the software; ZFS integration; resource management; and DTrace integration.
